Would you share a lollypop or popsicle with your Yorkie??

mickey3696 · 10-26-2007, 08:12 AM

I voted wrong I share all the time!! My kids get grossed out everytime I do it.

Dior'sMom · 10-26-2007, 08:20 AM

Never would. The last thing i want to do is create a bad habit for begging. And i also think its gross.

Mybabyboymax · 10-26-2007, 08:24 AM

I wouldnt, I dont think its sanitary

Hokule'a · 10-26-2007, 08:24 AM

I don't eat lollipops but I have shared the last bite of popsicles with my two

Izzy Princess · 10-26-2007, 08:51 AM

I voted gross but not for that reason - I don't want to foster begging either with Izzy so if I do want to share something with her - I will give her a very tiny last piece of either banana or popsicle but will put it in her bowl. She can sit with me or anyone while we are eating and not beg one time...she will come by you to see what you have but then we say not for Izzy and she goes away.

chattiesmom · 10-26-2007, 08:54 AM

I share. The Yorkies don't beg -- when I choose to share I invite them.

mickey3696 · 10-26-2007, 08:59 AM

Mine do not beg either. Most of the time Muffy sits on my lap and sleeps while I eat. I have shared for years and never had a problem with it.

zoeybear · 10-26-2007, 09:13 AM

Zoey is a horrible begger( more like demander.) My Husband and Daughter and I have agreed to stop giving "treats" from the table. We have created a monster. Zoey is starting to get the hint. We want to break the habit before the new baby arrives. I know it is bad for her health and she has already lost almost 1/2 pound in one week. I feel terrible for teaching her such a bad habit that is no good for her. I do admit I let her lick my lollypop the other day tho.

lara2913 · 10-26-2007, 10:40 AM

I have occasionally yes, and they do not beg- ever.

Lexi Rae · 10-26-2007, 11:49 AM

i would let her have a couple of licks, but thats about it i think.
my mom shares with her peppermint patties right from her mouth.
shes crazy...

Yorkiedaze · 10-26-2007, 11:51 AM

I can eat anything with them right on my lap and beside me and they never beg. I do share my cold stone ice-cream when we go up to Trader Joes. They LOVE "cream-cream" (roll the r's and pronounced like crem-crem) Got that from my husbands grandfather who was Italian.

Dogs mouth is cleaner than any humans for sure. How do you think they are able to lick wounds and heal them!

Humans have the nastiest mouths and we can get a serious infection from a human bite.

chachi · 10-26-2007, 01:58 PM

I share My ice cream cones with them all the time

wemple2 · 10-26-2007, 03:55 PM

Nope, no sharing, no begging with Winston. Made that mistake with my first Yorkie and meal time was not pleasant and his health suffered because of it. So I voted no, but not because I think it's gross...it's what works for us.

Rae Rae · 10-26-2007, 07:10 PM

I've shared with them before, I've even let them eat off of my spoons! I'm sure my friends and family who've been over for dinner would love to know that! LOL
