Big Adventure.

Skip went on a big adventure on thursday, (last week.)
We took him to watch my nieces soccer game, and he started going crazy because he wanted to play with the kids. Through out the whole game, all he did was wine. He was trying so hard to get off his leash, he started walking around a bench leg to tangle the leash up, and he also tried to run away. After all this I decided to take him for a walk around the park, where my niece was playing soccer, which turned out to be a bad idea because, he saw a bird. Now you might think that he would just ignore the bird and carry on with his walk but what most people don't know about my dog, is that he LOVES birds. He runs around like crazy trying to catch them. So when he saw this bird he laid down on the grass getting ready to chase it, and then took off. I wasn't paying much attention because my phone kept going off, and I almost dropped the leash. It was a little embrassing because there was a lot of people just staring at me running around with this tiny little dog on a leash. This was also his first time at a park, so he was pretty excited. I think i might take him to my nieces next soccer game, just so that he gets use to being around other people, and other things outside that he is not use to yet. Im looking forward for our new adventure to take place.

Skips best friends.

With Skip being the only dog in the house, I think he gets a little lonely. On the other hand he has made good friends with my landlords cat John.
Cats and dogs don't usually get along, but sometimes it's entertaining to sit and watch these 2 play. They don't always get along, but they never hurt each other.
When skip is outside and the cat comes over, John (the cat) will lay down and roll around, Skip runs over to him and runs around him in a circle making him dizzy. That's when Skip goes and bites his tail, and that is when they both start playing tag. I have also caught them trying to play hide-and-seek. John will hide under the bathroom sink, and he taunts Skip and jumps out at him and cases him.

Another one of Skips best friend's is my dad. Skip follows him everywhere, and cries like a baby if he can't go where "Daddy" is going. Skip loves my dad so much it's insane! At night Skip and dad will sit and watch TV together, and they cuddle on the couch, once my dad moves to go and do something like get a coffee, Skip jumps up and runs into the kitchen to see what he is doing. Skip is attached to my dad. I've never seen such a stronger friendship.

Typical Yorkie.

Like all other yorkies, Skip can have a really bad temper. The only bad temperament that Skip shows us is when we leave him home alone, he rips everything apart, but the good thing is that it's only his toys.
Normally when we leave, we come home to his bed being whipped across the living room, his white pad that lays in his bed is all crunched up, and his blanket unfolded. On a really bad day, sometimes he messes inside because he is really mad, but it's okay because we have a pee pad laid down for him, which he goes on when he can't go outside. Another thing that he also does is push off the pillows on the couch. It is sometimes so hard to get mad at him from doing all of these things, because when you walk in the house he is jumping at your feet wagging his little tail, and gives you the cutest eyes, that says "I've made a big mess but don't be mad at me because I'm too cute."

Skip doesn't do a lot of damage with his temper, so we don't really get angry with him when we come home and everything is every where. This is because nothing is never riped. That's the best thing about him, he doesn't chew on anything unless his own toys. :)
