Sounds about right!

Peanut is crazy about his toys... We don't really play fetch, we play daddy or mommy finally gets the toy and Peanut grabs it and runs around the house and tries to not let us get it...

There is absolutely no bring it back to me... hahaha

I am so glad to read about the food thing. Addie does the same thing, she takes a bite and runs away to chew it. Today is only day 10 for us to have her in our family so I assumed it was what she did to eat when she was at her breeders. There were alot of Yorkies and I assumed that was how she was able to get food, that is so funny and comforting. Addie is possesive over the toys (although she thinks my whole house is a chew toy, we are having trouble with that) but I must be behind on throwing a ball. I need to try that now. What size ball do you use, I would imagine a tennis ball being too big...I am new again, so I don't know too much, sorry for any stupid questions...She is 13 weeks this week. Like a new mom, I hope I am not behind on teaching her things.

If your pup wears tags all the time it may scare him when they clink against the dish.

A clean freak! That's so cute. Maybe a little OCD?

[QUOTE=KathyinCali;1322713]Lucy hops up and down like a bunny when we or anyone else enters the house. She will hop over to a guest with he tail wagging like crazy then run back to me, then run back over to them...QUOTE]

How adorable!!!

I can just see her hopping up and down, what a cutie!!
Chewy does something similiar when we get home. He hops up and down at the baby gate, I put the gate down and he goes crazy. He then runs to his Dad who's still by the door, but he only gets about halfway. He turns back and runs back to me! What can I say, he's a momma's boy!

She had ceramic bowls, until she broke one, actually took it out thru the doggie door, on to the patio and dropped it.

She fears paperback books.

Once I was reading, and dropped my book on the floor, she was nearby so it fightened her. Now, if she sees me reading, she runs away from me. I have put a paperback on the floor and she wont go near it, walks clear around it.

Too funny. I guess you don't have to worry about forgetting to feed her! That's also funny about the paperback books!

She will stick her little paw out and play with it until she gets that piece out from under wherever it is hiding Its almost like she is ocd about it or something......Too Cute

Oh, that sounds like Chewy too! After he takes a piece of his food from the bowl, he takes it to a bench at the end of the bed. He gets the food under it, then swats it out!

Congrats on Addie!!

Chewy doesn't really like balls, just soft toys with a squeeker inside. This bone shaped toy is great for playing fetch....Once again, notice the paw.

Jake does the exact same thing when we're playing fetch! lol

Teddy does the fetch thing, except he will bring it back and look up at me, then when I try to grab it he gets it in his mouth and moves a few inches out of my reach and drops it again looking at me like "C'mon are we gonna play or not?"

Then it becomes tug of war/fetch.

He also won't eat out of his food dish if he thinks its dirty, he eats kibble mixed with canned food, so if any of the gravy from the canned food is on the side of the dish he won't touch it. I have to wipe the sides when I'm done mixing it.

He also feels the need to "kill" every empty water bottle he sees for some reason

Here's a visual
