| Why are Yorkies SO addictive?! I'm dying for another one. Dying! I've only had Jesse for a month and a half and I want a little brother or sister for him so badly. My boyfriend keeps laughing and calling me crazy. Although knowing the sweetheart that he is, he would happily let me get another one. Maybe not quite yet. Next fall may be a perfect time. I work full-time right now and am able to take Jesse to work with me every day. However, next year I hope to be in grad school taking my Masters (I'm currently applying). Jesse will have to be home alone for a few hours a day while I'm in class. That will be the perfect excuse...err, I mean time...the perfect time, to get another one! Jesse is big for a Yorkie. Over 7 pounds and gaining as he gets more healthy (he was malnourished when I got him). He is also fairly blonde/pale silver. I would love a little 4 pound dark Yorkie. Oh, they would be so cute together. Grr. I just got one Yorkie, how can I already be thinking of another so quickly?! |

| I only have one right now but I'm dying to have more too! But I probably can't get one until I get out of school in 3 1/2 years

| Yeah, they are pretty pricey to have on a student budget. That's the part I haven't really factored in. Since finishing my BA in the spring I've been working fulltime, so I've been able to afford Jesse easily. Once I'm back in school it will be a different story. But I want! I want! |

Kudos to you, BTW, for going for your Masters! You definitely deserve another baby as a reward! Lauren

| The furbabies really steal your heart. They are very easy to love. I just have one and love him so much. |

| I have had Riley since August and I absolutely want another one. I've been back and forth a hundred times debating on getting another one. I really want one, but dont know if I'll regret it later on. I'm really happy that Riley hasn't had any major problems and I'm afraid I'll get jinxed if I get another one. |

| Yep who would have thought that little fuzzbutt could totally win a person over so easily! I think with me is that I have 3 skin kids. Oldest is 9, younger 2 just turned 5 and 4. They are 12 mos 2 days apart, lol! So I have been used to taking care of someone and them relying on me so much. Now that my youngest is getting so independent I had no one so gush over all the time, lol! Lucky little furbutts anyways! BTW, we had Koda for 1 month and already had a deposit on Allie Now still another pretty little girl coming in a few weeks, and Koda is only 9mos old! Yorkies, their not a just a dog, their a passion! |

| I know the feeling!! I saw pictures of the puppies left in the litter I was interested in and brought 2 home! I'd had a yorkie last spring but she was stolen.. I soon realized I couldn't live without the breed, so I couldn't split the sisters up and took both! The boyfriend had NO clue when we went to pick them up.. lol And now I'm getting a little biewer yorkie girl in February... Definite yorkie fever going on in this house!

| Bella was my first Yorkie furrbutt, she came home to us on 8/8/07 and I am so addicted my Coco-b came home a few weeks ago. I did want them somewhat close in age so that they grow up together. (good excuse isn't it?) I can't have anymore for years and years but when the inevitable happens and our labs pass on we will either stick with our three little ones 2 yorkies and 1 boston terrier, or add another Boston errrrr yorkie (don't tell dh)

| I agree, yorkies ARE addicting! I have two right now and would love to have another one..the only thing stopping me is that I cannot afford another one right now, and don't have the time to bring in a new puppy to the house, and our city has a 2dog/house limit..can't wait to move!!!!

| They sure are addicting. Having one only makes you want two, having two makes you want three, having three makes you want four.....and on and on. I'm working on getting #3 now, still haven't totally convinced the hubby but he'll come around eventually. I won't be happy till I have a house full of yorkies!

| well, my parents own the house I live in and pay for my school and they don't want me to have any more pets right now (I have Lacy and two cats). But I keep trying to convince them to allow me to get another one. I can't wait until I'm done with school, own my own house, and can support myself...then I'll have several yorkies!
