Yorkies on TV

[MikeM]

It's strange, the last two days in a row, I've seen really cute Yorkies on different TV shows.

One was on Queer Eye For The Straight Guy where the guy getting the makeover had a small Yokrie who even wore a black "skull & crossbones" sweater like Otis!

The other was today...I was casually zipping through some nonsense TV like The People's Court and the case was all about an 8 year old kid who hit this family's Yorkie with a golf club! Crazy! The little guy is fine now, and wow, it was cute. A 6lb teacup.

Did anyone else see those shows?

That "Skull & Crossbones" sweater is everywhere! I bought one for Otie back in October when we were in NYC, and I've seen it since on Nick & Jessica and QEFTSG.

Not only did the makeover victim have a Yorkie, but Jai, the culture guy, had a Yorkie too!

I didn't see The People's Court, but I hope that kid got whacked with a golf club by the Judge. Poor Yorkie.

Yeah poor Yorkie, if they did that on purpose, the kid should go to juvy! Which Skull & Crossbones sweater are you talking about? Have you posted a picture of it yet Junebug? Ya know, I'm sure between all the member here, we could have quite a Yorkie fashion show on our hands!

Actually, after the people's court case was over, it wasn't as intentional as you might think. The little boy was home alone with the younger girl, and was unsupervised. They were supposed to walk the little Yorkie, but it was hiding under a bed. So the little kid stupidly used a golf club to scoop it out from under the bed, hitting it as he tried. He was dumb, but the parents were to blame too for not being there and supervising the kids.

The bottom line is that the Yorkie is now fine, so that's the silver lining to it all. It was a cutie too!! I'm just happy the pup is doing fine.

A trick: Anytime your Yorkie is hiding or runs away from you, just say, "Want a treat?? Want to go for a walk? Want to go for a ride? Want some chicken?" and they will come out of hiding. Works everytime.

Good trick, I hope at least you don't tease them like that and don't offer what you promise! I HATED that as a kid when my parents would dangle something in front of me like that!!! hahahah

Yes, I follow-up on my promise! Even if I don't have a treat handy, I'll give him a walnut or something.

If I don't follow-up, the trick won't work anymore.

Except when Otis is at my apartment (where they don't allow dogs) and when someone knocks on the door, Junebug makes a mad scramble to distract Otis by saying, "Here Otis, want a treat??" and then ends up picking up a piece of string from the ground! hehe

That's only on the rarest of rare situations when it looks like Otis is about to bark and get me in trouble.

[fasteddie]

Hahahah, CAUGHT! :P
But that's reasonable, as you are saving Otis from getting kicked outta there!

I figured as such Junebug. I definitely need to find some good treats.
