Yip and Yippers!

Dusty Doodles Reporting!!!



Doodles has read all of your comments and it seems that many of my friends are not sure exactly what Yip is. Yip is kinda like us dogs, but he is a kyotee. Doodles calls them Yippers because instead of barking or woo-ing like normal pups, they yiiiiiippppp.

Da momma says that Yippers are kinda like wild dogs. They are a member of our sitific family, but more like distant cousins or somefin.

Doodles will tell you what Yip has told me about Yippers.

Yippers don't like hoomans. They are very afraid of hoomans because hoomans set traps for them that catch their legs and then they shoot them with the bang things and they die. So Yippers don't want anything to do with hoomans at all. They don't have a house, not even a dog house, but they do have denz. Denz are places that they sleep and have their pups. The Yippers have to make their own denz. I tried it and dug a big hole under my house, Yip said it was pretty good, but it would have to be way deeper and bigger at the sleepy end for a Yipper to be able to use it.

Yippers also don't have cookies. See, cuz they don't like hoomans, they have no one to give them cookies or their foods for that matter. They have to find their own foods. Yip told me it's hard work to find your own foods, cuz first you have to find it, then sneak up on it and then run after if and kill it, all before you gets to eat it. And it's not cooked. Doodles doesn't mind the not cooked part, sometimes Doodles gets uncooked meats and stuffs, and Doodles doesn't mind running after his foods -- but it sure seems like lots of hard work, just to get your foods. Yip also told me that sometimes he has to go days and days without foods, cuz either he can't find any or the foods are faster then he is and they runs away.

Yip told me he eats mice and rats and Jacks. I couldn't believe that Yips would eat Jacks, cuz Jacks are my friends too. But I guess if you are really hungry a Jack might look pretty good to eat. Yip also eats kittycats that hoomans don't keep in the house. He told me that kittycats make pretty good foods, cuz the little ones aren't very smart or fast and one time he was running after a little kittycat and the kittycat ran right into his denz! He also said sometimes he gets lucky and a cowpup is born and is sick so he doesn't have to run after those. So sometimes he gets those too. But he has to be careful, cuz the momma cowpup will kick at him and stuff. Oh and sometimes he gets chicken too, but he has to take the feathers off himself.

Yip told Doodles that he feels pretty safe coming to my house cuz he has watched us the whole time we have lived here and he knows that Da momma and Da dad don't hurt Yippers or any other animul. Every winter, when it's cold and there aren't too many foods running around for Yip, Da momma will put meats out for him, so he has something to eats. Da momma says it's probably not the smartest thing to do, cuz she doesn't want him to get habituated (whatever that means) to hoomans and hoomans giving them food, but she feels sorry for him. So Da momma will buy extra chickens and stuffs for him in the winter time. I tolds Da momma to leave him some cookies too, cuz Yip said he would like to try them sometime.

So, even though Yippers are kinda like us pups, they are lots different. And their lives are lots harder then ours -- they don't have couches or houses or air conditioning or nothing. They only have what they can find.

Hope that answers some questions.

Doodles Out!!!
