I Have To Vent!!!

[paula1961]

It's funny. Reading all of our posts. We all love our lil furbabies so much. They can get on our nerves for one reason or another but....who could part with them? As much as I get angry with Lucy for pooping inside, I could never get rid of that lil thing. And right now mine are at the groomer and the house is just too darn quiet. The puppy isn't even whining. If they were here, she would be wanting out of the expen to play

I too love the yorkie breed, stubborn as they are, they are the perfect breed for me.

My future dil is like you Betsi, she had a yorkie but just couldn't bond with it or something, anyway now my sister has it and it's like her child. They get along great!

Janet you should try the pineapple if you haven't already, I'm starting Lucy back on it today.

I can understand your fustration, Janet. When I first got Jazzi she ate the cat's poop. Gross!!!!! I think that some of that was our fault because the cat only had dog food to eat and I don't think that she processed it very well so it was appealing to Jazzi. We got rid of the cat this summer because she was very sickly and I think that Jazzi's poop eating has stopped.

As for the pooping and peeing in the house, I don't know how you correct it when you really don't know which one has done it. I take a curled up, noisy newspaper after mine and send them straight outside when I find that they've gone in the house. Jazzi's finally housebroken so I'm not finding much at all in the house anymore. Reuger's marking more than he used to but it's mostly on boxes that are out of place. I still scold him, show it to him, and send him outside.

Maybe you should try crating them and just let them out to potty. Try that for a day or two and see what happens. I know that it's hard but hang in there!!!

As for the barking, Jazzi is my barker and now has Reuger barking too. She barks at everything!!! I keep my rolled up newspaper nearby and as soon as I pick it up and whack the couch, the barking stops. She even barks when a doorbell rings on TV!!!! We go through good times and bad times with this one. Jazzi has certainly kept us on our toes!!! We realize what a good dog Reuger is now!!!!!

Annie barks at certain commercials, if the singing or music is high pitched, and heaven forbid there is a dog barking on TV! She taught Max to do this too!

Betsi, the MiKi are an interesting combo! Chins are calm, maltese are so loving, and I don't know papillons. She is a good match for you!

Oh yes Diana! You had to remind me that both mine will eat cat poop, given the chance. I don't have a cat but my daughter does and when we have the boys over there, we have to put the baby gate up at the door to the room with the litter box so my boys won't go in and eat cat poop. YUK! Poor cat, I'm sure she hates to see us come as she has to jump the gate to get to her bathroom!

Janet, I sooo feel for you. We love them, but they are such a pain sometime.

My Zoe still poops in the house, but she has her corner in the dining room where we have ceramic floor. I'm not happy with it, but at least it's not on the carpet. Sometimes they do pee on the carpet though, behind the couch and that is disgusting!! I want to get rid of the carpet, but we've been just too busy to do anything about it.

Your building out back sounds like a nice idea for you to take a break!!
