| cure for CRANKY TAILS anyone ? ....this is a serious question, don't mean to offend anyone....just curious ! .....does anyone here have problems with cranky tails as we call them ? (that is the last wee bit of business that the yorkies have to crank out, and it always hangs onto their bottoms until it falls off who knows where - usually on your carpet for your feet to find !!!) .....my three are terrible for that.....in fact we have to check them, but the wee brats know it's there, and are soooo offended, that they run super-fast back into the house before we can catch them, and it lands on the carpet - the tinniest cone ! ......it's very hard to find if it has dropped off ! - you usually step on it first - thank heavens for our carpet cleaner, lol Casper is the flyest of them all as if he has one, he bites it off and flicks it before we have noticed he has it ! We don't want kisses off him then for quite a few hours, eeeeek ! .....i have tried to trim the offending area, but they still seem to be bothered no matter what i do ! ....any suggestions to stop this caper will be very greatfully recieved - it wasn't them you know ! |

| LOL! My husband and I take our little girl outside to do her business and then we go into commando mode. My husband picks it up with the pooper-scooper and cautions me to "check her butt!" (thank you, dear). So I get "butt duty." We wipe her if we detect any smell. With 3, it would be a challenge. I've got my thinking cap on, but for the moment, I don't have a suggestion, sorry. I do sympathize tho. |

Tammy has been fine since we have had her - at least i haven't spotted any drop from her - - tears all over the keyboard here.... ....it's doing my head in, and you're right, my hubby leaves it to me too - and you try and catch three of them at once !!! Casper needs his manhood wiped too or you get the wee round circle on your chair, eeeeek ! ....i am sure it is a wee dog problem as their business just isn't heavy enough to all drop to the ground ! ....they are all 4lbs in weight....i will have to start feeding them marbles, lol .....there is nothing worse than looking at this thingie on the carpet, and wondering what it is, and going to pick it up - a wee cone - and it's all hard, and then you realise it's THEIRS !!! tears.tears.tears.tears.......give me strength ! | |

| Alien Cling-On's We have problems with Cling-on Aliens at my house. Peppy is the worse and as soon as he realize that he has been attacked (or attached) by the Aliens he does the -Get The Cling-On Off Scoot. Winds up with a butt bath everytime! If you find a solution, please let me know -- Aliens are dropping like flies here in the south! |

| LOL, you all are cracking me up! Well, my two are bigger, and have short hair, but Bernie has poo issues due to a car accident when he was a pup. So, he doesn't get back in the house without a but inspection first. He knows it, and puts up with it. Ginger never seems to have that problem, but she's a big girl so things probably, um, weigh more

| I am the Cranky Tail this morning! The second mini baby was born around 3:30 am this morning (that is another story for Off-Topic). Anyway, I was sleeping late, or trying to at any rate, when hubby comes barging in holding the Cranky Tail Cling-On Alien King -- Peppy. Guess who had to give him a bath -- I hate waking up to stinky butts -- I had to bathe the poor sweet little dear BEFORE my first cup of coffee!!! Thank you to HighlandYorkies for starting this wonderfully informative and fun thread. |
