[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 334396, member: 1024"] Furb....cute. I agree with donna, who said that they need frequent potty breaks, even at night. When we got our Yorkie, I would have to get up every three to four hours at night for several weeks. Gradually, just like an infant waking through the night, she tapered off. I kept the crate in my bedroom and would get up when she started to whine. Within about a month or two, she was able to go through the night. I had a small kitchen back then and would lock her up in the kitchen after a while and got rid of the crate. Don't make that mistake. Since that was her "safe place," taking place of the crate, she growled at people when they came into the kitchen....like my mother-in-law and she bit a little 3 year old in the kitchen once. She also got a hold of the wallpaper on the wall and tore shreds of it. I hated that wallpaper anyway, but not really so good for the dog. [B]Don't let the dog eat raisins or grapes[/B]. Apparently, they can cause kidney failure in dogs. Of course, I didn't know that and my dog would go nutso when the kids would leave a box of raisins on the table. I'd find the box shredded to peices all over the floor in another room. Possibly the reason why my dog had kidney failure. I wish someone had told me that little tidbit of info. [/QUOTE]
