Fred Basset by Alex Graham for December 14, 2021

That’s the way with yippy little dogs sometimes. I know you guys are friends but you really need to go over the rules with him. It’s going to be long couple of days if you don’t.

I was afraid of this……’splain things to him, Fred.

yorky will really help them appreciate you Fred. As someone who libr with Terriers, i can tell you the saying is true, “you can always tell a Terrier but you can’t tell them much!”

Fred how else will Yorky let you know what he needs ? Flash Cards ?

Guests are like clothing – sooner or later, they both start to wear a bit thin. That high-pitched yipping would drive me up the wall very quickly.

Our German Shepherd almost never barked, but he always made his needs known. We taught him to ring a small bell when he wanted to go outside; to come back in, he simply pawed at the front storm door … granted, with his paws, that was more like pounding on it (he broke a storm window once…). When he wanted his supper, he would pick up one of his stainless steel bowls and drop it on the kitchen floor.

That’s a Yorkshire terrier!

We’ve got three and they are all on different schedules. But, they do get me out of my chair frequently, which is good.

You knew this would happen, didn’t you?

You do the same without the yips Fred.

El Exigente’, the Demanding One

Mom bought a t shirt for Dad that read:Agenda for the day. Let the dog out. Let the dog in.Let the dog out. Let the dog in.

Now the Dears will appreciate Fred’s quietness.
