kalanamak Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I have one for the next six hours. It was trembling so badly I gave it a nip of cheese. It is now not trembling, but barking continuously at me and the fridge. I've never been alone with a yapper before. Help. It is so tiny, I don't want to make it sick with food, and I have no dog food. I suspect it is rather spoiled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Wow, they didn't leave you any nibbles for it?? If you think it's hungry, I'd call them up and ask what to do. Is it cold? :( Sorry!! (You've offered water, right?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen500 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Spread peanut butter on your hands and let it lick you for the next 30 minutes? :lol: Sorry I'm not really helpful with yappers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 I'm especially worried because it won't let me near it. I stupidly took off the leash because what dog doesn't run to the leash to go for walkies. I know these things have little bladders. If I can't get it back on the leash, how will I take it out? Peanut butter might overcome his impression that I am El Diabla, although a devil with an hand that can open the fridge. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 It was only 4 hours, and after it decided I was Enemy #1 and barked and growled at me for 40 minutes, not even taking treats from me, is piteously simpered up to me begging to be picked up. I carried it about like a fussy baby ever after, or else we started the whole fright/run/bark/simper routine over again. Nothing like toileting with a squirmy dog in your good arm. I can now underline "never" four times when I reiterate my life philosophy: I will never have a lap dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbkaren Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 That trembling thing is so common with little dogs, I can't stand it; they're like a tightly wound spring and I expect them at any moment to plant their teeth in my ankle or my hand... I too, will only associate with dogs 50 pounds or greater, that are a little more secure in their universe :) I'd just let it yap; it's probably not hungry, just being a yapper.

I love my Pemmy Corgi--- HUGE dog in a small package! astrid Pugs are like this too, a lot of dog in a small package. I generally prefer big dogs, but love my Pug. He's very secure, and he's a big clown so strangers don't bother him at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
