For those of you with TWO yorkies:

[Fran42478]

Sophia and Jake are the SAME WAY...I have 2 toy boxes...One upstairs and one downstairs...But that doesnt matter, they have to have the toy the other has!!

Sammi and Sophia didnt have that problem...Sammi was not as friendly and playful as Jake (even as a puppy)...I think her being sick might have contributed to that though...

[stedmansmommy]

Yes, I agree - this must be TOTALLY normal because that's how it's been at my house since I've brought miss Tatum home. Mind you Tatum is only 14 weeks, and Stedman is a year old.

SHE thinks she runs this house, let me tell you! When Stedman gets a toy, she will run right up to him and try to rip it directly out of his mouth! She chases him, bites him (she literally makes him SCREAM! - and I DO NOT like this one bit!!! ), and pounces him all the time!

They do play "together" - but over these past few days she has REALLY opened up and she is such a little FIREBALL!!! Stedman has actually been trying to get AWAY from her, I feel so bad for my little Steddy - poor little man just wants a break lol.

And I don't know WHAT he is going to do when Tatum learns how to jump up on the couch like he does - because right now, that is his only escape from her

But I had to laugh when I read the part you wrote about the Nylabones because it is exactly like that over at my house. In fact, just last night I took TWO brand spankin' new Nylabones out of the bag and gave one to EACH furkid. I even put it in their mouths at the same time instead of just dropping them on the ground where they would fight over them. WELL OF COURSE! Did it actually MATTER that I did that? No not really. lol. There they are, scrapping over the same friggin' one! So I said ok whatever I give up yall just go at it and whoever gets it, gets it. lol.

Eventually they got over it and Tatum went back to her OWN Nylabone and all was well again in this crazy house lol. But anyway, I just wanted to tell you not to worry, because your two sound exactly like mine - so I'm thinking this behavior is pretty normal

YES-EXACTLY! That's Emma's only escape right now too! Maybe we should get Stedman and Emma together to discuss their older sibling issues And then the little terror girls could each have a taste of their own medicine! It's funny how we conveniently "forget" the bad things about the young stages... I remember going through it with Emma, but she didn't have anyone to team up with or beat up on, so I think it's been harder the second time. I do find, however, that I am much more relaxed with the second puppy than I was with Emma.

You described my two perfectly. Even though sometimes they seem to be jealous of each other I know each of them would be lost without the other.

[bebeyorkie]

My 2 are also like that - they actually chase each other so fast that they only stop when one of them slams into something LOL Then they star all over again.

And yes they love wrestling on our laps.

Today when I came home from work I took them outside to play because they had been in x pen all day. They ran and chased each other for about 15 mins LOL it was hilarious - my little boy is 3 lbs and girls is 5lbs. He would chase her first then he'd stop and realize... ok this isn't a good idea she's going to come after me in a bit. Then of course she would turn around and chase him his only escape was hiding in between small palm trees LOL LOL LOL

Girl, you took the words right out of my mouth lol. Like you said, the first time around wasn't as bad because there was only ONE - and there was no one else for them to TERRORIZE When I got Stedman at 12 weeks old, yes...he was VERY hyper and very playful - and HE TOO would have probably terrorized another dog if I had one in the house - but I don't - so he just played with his toys like a good little boy and that was that. But when puppy #2 came along...there was Stedman. Sitting there looking just like the PERFECT little object for her to POUNCE ON! And we can't of course forget the biting of STEDMAN'S REAR He has about HAD IT with that part of this whole experience...tonight he let her have it and I LET HIM LET HER HAVE IT lol. Maybe if he gives her a little nip and she gets a taste of what it feels like to be BITTEN constantly she will BACK OFF a little I swear, I told my husband that we brought home the devil! LOL

LMAO I AM DYING!!! I swear when I read that I totally started cracking up LOL! My two do that ALL THE TIME!!! My husband is like, "OMG, what a bunch of retards!!"

[Morkie4]

Sounds just like the action at my house!!! Maltese is bigger but calmer and never gets rough. The Yorkie is 4 lbs smaller but is a terror. But they always have fun and never get vicious!

[bebeyorkie]

LOL My friends have nicknamed them Tom and Jerry

[catser2002]

Yep --- that pretty much describes the action around here, especially the bit about fighting over one toy even when they have two exactly alike. Or in the case of ping pong balls and bully sticks, many just alike.

Right now they are running laps around table in family room, through the dining room, into the living room, periodically slamming into each other. Lots of noise accompanying the action.

[Maddie-Rudy-Mom]

When mine all get going, it is like a zoo. Maddie is laid back and just sits and barks at the other three, unless they get her favorite toy. Rudy and Polly will gang up on Sprout, but he is like lightning and they are chasing him through the whole house. As far as toys they always want what the other one has. Some night I don't even turn the tv on I watch the home yorkie channel.
