My Yorkie, Prissy, will be 8 yrs. old July 31. She is extremely smart; we have to spell words so she won’t know what we say if we are talking about her. If I say a sentence with the word, “Karen”, she knows she is going to her groomer, Karen. She starts jumping up and down, and wants to go right then. Stays agitated until we go to the car. We never say, “Karen” unless we are actually going there.
If Bob says, “Go tell her”, or “Go ask her”, she comes to me.
If we say, “Prissy”, she is all over us.
She is right now sitting in her usual place, on the carpet facing the front door. There is a strip of glass next to the front door she can see out of - she is guarding the house. If anyone walks past the house on the sidewalk, or anyone drives into the driveway of the house across the street, she goes nuts, barking, that car or that walking person is in her “space”.
The groomer, Karen, puts her down on the floor of the Vet’s office where she grooms dogs. All office personnel plays with her. Karen uses Prissy to calm anxious dogs who are there for a grooming.
At night, Bob puts her on the California King bed with us. During the day, I work in the library/TV room. When Bob comes into the room and sits on the couch, Prissy is right there wanting up on the couch with him. If he takes a nap there, so does Prissy.
You won’t go wrong getting a Yorkie. Sweetest, smart dog on the planet.
Another great Yorkie Testimony! :)
