| She sure is cute, and very happy looking considering all she went through in her first month with you.

| Update 1/15/2014 I haven't done an update for Mork in a while. She's doing very well. Much better than she was when she first joined my family. Mork has all of her puppy shots and her rabies shot and she can go for walks in the park and meet other puppies now. Mork does well with other puppies but seems to be cautious of people, especially children. A little more than a week ago, little Mork enjoyed puppy play time at the the pet store and she is signed up for puppy obedience school.

| Update 1/16/2014 Mork has gained weight! She is now 6.2 pounds and can jump on the furniture. Also, she is scheduled to be spayed next Friday. I'm so worried about her getting spayed. Oreo, who is slightly smaller than Mork, had such a rough time when we got her spayed. It was horrid. She was not feeling well for two weeks. The first night home, Oreo screamed all night and I slept on the floor with her for several days. I really hope Mork's surgery is much easier.

| Mork has made such good progress after a rough start. Good luck with her spay. Be sure to do pre-op blood work (unless she has already had enough blood work done to cover areas of concern). And ask for pain meds when you take her home, so you'll have them on hand in case they are needed. It will help her recovery to be comfortable. Have you decided how you'll keep her from licking stitches? Some get the Softee Collar from a member here, and some people use a babies onsie put on with snaps at the back. With all 4 of my girls, the vet carefully did the stitches internally, and none of them licked.

Hi MauiGirl, Thank you. The Vet will be doing pre-op blood work, I believe. I can't believe how expensive it is to spay my pretty little girl. I remember having pain meds for Oreo when we brought her home but we had to go back and get stronger stuff and Valium for her. Do Yorkies, because they are typically so small, have problems with getting spayed? I know it needs to be done but I'd like to know what to expect. Mork seems tougher than Oreo but I don't want her to be in pain (just like I wish Oreo hadn't gone through that pain). How do the onsies work? I know with Gizmo that the cone was a terrible option. When my parents put his cone on, he'd just freeze. He wouldn't even eat or take treats with it on. And, with Oreo, she figured out how to take it off. The one her Vet gave was tied on with ribbon. She would twist it around so that the bow was parallel to the ground, put the bow on the ground and step on the edge of the ribbon, lift up, and then push the untied cone off. I don't remember how we ended up keeping her cone on (we did figure something out) but I do remember her getting an infection. I wish we had known there were other cone options back then. Thanks!!

| Update 1/20/2014 Yesterday, Mork got to enjoy puppy play time. She did very well. They, also, let her sister (Oreo) join puppy playtime. Oreo only played for about 20 minutes and she mostly wanted the attention of the humans. However, I do find it very exciting that Oreo joined in and didn't growl at any of the puppies. We've had such a hard time getting Oreo used to having Mork around. Just before Christmas, I thought that it would be nice to get a group photo of all three of the puppies. I am attaching a few from that photo shoot. Oreo and Mork Oreo Growls At Mork.jpg The Three Pups The Three Puppies.jpg Gizmo and Mork Gizmo and Mork.jpg

| I'm sure Mork's spay will go just fine, she is a nice healthy weight. Yorkies don't have any harder time with spay than other breeds, but the tiny ones are of more concern. Here is a link to the soft collar I mentioned, so you can see it, even if you can't get one in time. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ne-collar.html You can get a newborn baby onsie and put it on with smooth side (back) toward her tummy and snaps up at her back. You will have to unsnap it for her to go potty though. There is also a chance you won't need any of these, some dogs just don't lick and chew stitches. My vet offered spay at a very affordable price, as an incentive to stop overpopulating. Also the local Humane Society here offers a $50. certificate toward cost of spay at any vet. You might also want to get Mork microchipped while she is in there, and if she has any retained baby teeth this is a good time to have those removed. Good luck. You might want to start a new thread in the General section, as more people will read there than in the Nursery (where we mostly see new litters of babies) Love the photos of Mork and friends.

Mork has already been microchipped but I'm not sure how to use that. Also, she is only 4&1/2 months old and her teeth seem to have just started to fall out. But maybe that is something that should be asked to her Vet. Thank you so much for responding to me!
