Its a Yorkie thing

I think they all do it...Bella is my shadow, she has to go with me everywhere. My GF has a pom and I watch Foxy and she never follows her Mommy unless Dot calls her to go with...so I think its a Yorkie thing

Yeah it's a yorkie thing. Brandi does it too. I can't tell you how many times I almost trip over her or almost step on her. But now that she almost always has her tags on, I don't have as many near misses.

We have five and THEY ALL DO IT.

Unfortunately a couple have slid across the kitchen floor because of it too!

It's funny how often I find myself looking down now...but knock on wood, I haven't tripped over something in a long time!

My little Pebbles always tries to jump on my feet and bite my toes. She barks and barks, and spins and spins. She is a crazy girl!! I just love her.

Oh my gosh, my little Max is terrible about this! He's famous for the quick change and the quick stop -- my husband says he's doing a "crazy Ivan" hahaha.

He does the quick stop on his leash walking sometimes too. I've almost done a nose-dive so many times to avoid him. I just hope he'll drag me home if I fall on my face.

I just knew I named my little girl just right......Shadow.

Sometimes I get up from my chair in the evenings and I don't see her and I'll walk into the kitchen calling her and she's right behind me!

Just have to watch where you walk, it's an adjustment for us cause we have two large dogs and you always know where they are!!

Have fun!
