Dora Scared My Yorkie to Death!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

tarawood · 06-24-2005, 06:50 AM

Last night Romeo kept growling and barking and he never does that, in fact, I can count the times I've heard him bark. So, I would call him, and he would come and lay down beside our bed, then I would fall back asleep only to be awakened by him again. After two more times of the same thing, I got up, looked down the hall where he was growling and barking, and didn't see anything, so I told him to come to bed, and off we went back to bed (by the way it was about 3 a.m.

)

Of course, he does it again, so this time I call him and he comes and stands at my doorway still barking down the hall. So I get up thinking I'm going to stay in the hall until I figure out what is going on (I think the cat is taunting him or something). I followed him down the hall and there laying on the floor is my 5-year olds Dora the Explorer pillow pal doll (see pic).

I pick it up and Romeo goes nuts growling and barking. I put it closer to him and he runs backward growling and barking. It was really hard not to keep doing it just to see his response.

Between me laughing so hard and him barking, the whole house was awake! I put it up in my daughter's closet and he stood there growling and barking, so I had to get hubby to distract him while I put it up in the top of our closet and shut the door. Too bad I didn't get a video off it. It was really funny. I always thought Dora the Explorer was a little scary too!

LOL.

That is really funny. she scares me too lol. too bad you didn't get a video of it. if it was tucker i would probably still be showing it to him it sounds funny. i wonder what he would do if he saw her on TV? lol

simonandhallie · 06-24-2005, 07:00 AM

hahaha that's a funny story! I can just see that too! Is it still in the closet?

Brutus'mama · 06-24-2005, 07:04 AM

That's so funny! I think I do the same thing when my kids watch Dora! My daughter has a huge Strawberry Shortcake pillow that Brutus hated. I didn't realize how much until her cute little freckled face was torn to shreds!

Biddy's Mom · 06-24-2005, 07:13 AM

That is SOOO funny!!!

You should change Romeo's name to Swiper since he'd Dora's arch nemesis!!!
(ok - I'm 26 and don't have kids. There is NO reason for me to know that!!)

Marie · 06-24-2005, 07:18 AM

That is a funny story, lol. I have 2 kids, my daugther loves Dora. She has a Dora doll and Gucci loves to bite it.

Latuya · 06-24-2005, 07:36 AM

I love it,,, that is so funny. My kids have a Bart Simsons doll that says, "Don't have a cow man" And gus hates that thing. That doll has holes in his head from Gus attacking it.

tarawood · 06-24-2005, 08:08 AM

So far, Dora is still in the closet. Though she might have to come out when my relatives get here, just for the fun of it!

I guess I'm lucky she doesn't have holes in her face too.

My daughter woud be so upset and I'd be running around town trying to find another one.

I guess we can add Strawberry Shortcake, Bart Simpson, and Dora the Explorer to a list of things yorkies dislike. That really is too funny!

Cookie2 · 06-24-2005, 08:13 AM

That was too funny, I knew right away that it must have been something on the floor or near him to make him keep barking lol. I know that at 3 am its not that funny sometimes. But I think I would have started laughing too lol

Thats funny!!! My soon to be five year old has the same Dora pillow.

kp&nala · 06-24-2005, 08:22 AM

That's so funny. My little cousin loves Dora!! She's almost 2 yrs old and she goes around singing Da Da Da Da Dora! It's so cute!!

Josie's Mom · 06-24-2005, 09:03 AM

LOL really cute LOL

Laura · 06-24-2005, 09:17 AM

That is so funny!

It makes me sorta sad! I used to be up on all the latest fads, Barney, Teletubbies, ninja turtles - knew their names and colors; power rangers - same. Po-ke-mon - I kept cards and little figurines at my desk to explain to those unknowing. But now, you all know Dora, and I haven't ever heard of her. My boys are 14 and 17 - I guess I am out of the loop. The song didn't bring a melody to mind. Sad, sad, sad...

Annadoodle · 06-24-2005, 09:20 AM

Laura...
