One thing you would do differently...?

Also...and some may or may not be honest enough to agree with this one...I would not have gotten a second Yorkie. I thought Jo needed a playpal...Riley doesn't play very often at all...I thought Jo was independant and didn't want to sit with me...in reality Riley is usually on my lap or snuggled up next to me and Jo looks at me with a sad face like that's where he would like to be. Riley is a great companion for Jo, he loves to snuggle...they're great buddies...but...it's a year now after adding Riley and I can see where it may have actually 'hurt' Jo in some ways rather than help him.

Thank you for being honest-------we have decided that we would love get a baby sister for Milo, but I def worry that I will lose some of what is so great about him.

I wish I had taken more pictures of Hobbs when he was a baby. They grow up so fast.

I would wait for Adie to become 12 weeks old before bringing her home. I got her at 7 weeks and she got critically ill the next day. (The 4th of July) I spent my whole vacation taking her back and forth between the emergency vet and a regular vet trying to get her through a nasty virus.
We formed a really tight bond that week but oh it was so heartbreaking to see such a little thing so sick. It wasn't the breeders fault that she got sick. We figured she picked up the virus when she had her well-puppy check two days before I got her. The breeder was better equipped to handle the situation than I was but she was too far away to take over for me.
Fortunately we had a happy ending and Adie turned out to be a wonderful spunky little Tom boy!

I would make sure that Molly is never fed from the table even though she loves people food of any kind. She hates dog food and getting her to eat it is a struggle. I would also make sure that she got treats only for trainiinig purposes, and then, very little! I'm afraid I've made her a very fussy eater!

I would start with housetraining much sooner and put in a doggy door BEFORE I got him, to make potty training more successfull. I would make sure that he knew that pottying inside is never okay.
The last time we visited my parents he soiled their carpets and they had to have it professionally washed.
I didn't know anything about pottytraining and now, at 5 months, he still isn't potty-trained. Going to try using a clicker for this as well. Keeping my fingers crossed.
