There's a gopher in my garden - YorkieTalk.com Forums

lmachado73 · 06-18-2009, 09:26 PM

Lily loves my flowers, and we love her! She is so full of life and love! She is amazing to watch, and we are enjoying her to pieces. She no longer wears a collar, because I have been reading some horror stories about collars. I only had her wear it, because I had a bell attached to it so we could hear her. I'm scared to death someone is going to step on her.
Any suggestions?

Lily is beautiful!

Could you maybe take the bell off the collar and put it on her harness?

I could, but I don't take her outside for walks or anything... only real quick to do her business. My Maltese, Pupcake, is 7 pounds, and when they are playing, Pupcake used to tug at her collar. I know she will tug at her harness, but is this any risk to Lily? Also, do most people leave their harness on all of the time? She looks so naked now without anything on. Poor little abused Lily... yeah right! Thank you for the advice and if Pupcake can't hurt her with a harness on, I will get one tomorrow.

Your pictures are really beautiful and thanks for sharing!

I leave the harness on my rescue most of the time, because when we first got her, she escaped from the fenced-in back yard, a few times. Anyway, the tags are on her harness, and the jingle from them lets me know where she is located. Hopefully, the same thing would happen, if you attach a bell to the harness.

Oh my how adorable! You are quite the photographer! I really wish mine was able to take such great pictures! JEALOUS!

Awww, your little Lily is adorable.

Awwww... Lily is such a doll!

You can use a kitty collar with a break-away closing. If the tug gets dangerous the closing opens...

Lily is a doll baby. Love the pictures.
I want a gopher like that in my garden.

Lily is just so precious

Your pics are great!

lmachado73 · 06-19-2009, 02:52 PM

I feel so lucky to have found such a neat group of people! It's so funny... I sent these pictures to my family... and still no response. lol They don't have the Yorkie bug, so I guess they don't get it. It's nice to have Yorkie family.

Thank you for the advice about the harness also. Lily has her new harness on with her bell, and it's working great! Thank you!

I look through everyone's pictures and oooh and ahhh, but don't make any comments usually. Now I will definitely comment.

When I read your thread title, I really thought you had a Gopher in your garden. Those pics of your Lily are so....cute.

She's a sweetheart. Thank you for sharing.
