I agree with everyone !! on the one hand u would love to get another but on the other and would it spoil things and would 2 be beter or worse ??. I have an 8 month old girl , no probs house training she doesnt trash the house when we work and is reall delightful, we did try intoducing a rescue this week to her but it was hate at first sight (the recue that is ) poor kins did nt know what ha hit her !! Let them get on with it they will be fine i was told !! would u let upr precious baby run scared and get bitten till she submits or the other dog gets used to her ?? I dont think so so we left it, sophie hid behind me and wanted to be picked up.... she must have know she s been even more loving since and plays constantly with her new soft penguin i had to buy her that day !! so I think we will leaveit for now and just enjoy what we have .

OMG....I say go ahead and get another one b/c its true you cant have just one......BUT i must caution you..STOP at two or you end up with a bunch of cute puppy eye dogs running your household and your asking yourself how the heck did it happen....hehehe....I have three and I want one more...b/c we just gave up our 3 mth girl b/c she was promised so when we move to our house...I am on the look out for another girl....

Shirlthepearl · 07-10-2008, 04:07 AM

I got my second one (Suzi) yesterday. Katie thinks she's wonderful and they get on really well.

They are definitely company for each other.

I've always had one Yorkie except when I was very young and I bred them. That was many years ago before the breed became so popular in the U.S.

As you can tell from this post - I am a senior (64). Everytime I look at pictures of puppies and rescues, I remind myself how much work and care I put into one fuzzball. The mind might want more, but the body says stick with one.

He said Gizmo would teach the new one (Barkley) his good habits, teach him how to potty, etc. He was right. The transition was perfect. Giz has been a true gentleman. Sometimes he gets aggravated but has been just great with Barkley. He has taught him how to potty, and Barkley looks to Gizmo for everything. On August 15th Barkley will be 1 and Gizmo will be 11 on August 16th. It has been the best thing I have ever done. I will admit that Gizmo has always been very well behaved, laid back little guy and I know that has a lot to do with how he accepted Barkley. They are all different.

AHHH that is so sweet! Every day I want another one....and every day I talk myself out of it...KiKi is the only fur baby and I think it might stay that way....

ARCHIE · 07-10-2008, 06:21 AM

Believe me, it isn't easy. It has been in the back of my mind for two years
to get another but to be very honest, I think back to when I did get Buddy
and how very hard it was to go to work and raise a puppy. He also went
threw every stage possible that a puppy can go threw. Food aggression,
toy aggression, bed aggresson, aggression towards large dogs, etc, etc.
It took lot's of training and I read everything I could get my hands on.
I feel that I personally know Ceaser Millan

He was a challange and I was not going to give up. Today he is the most
loving dog I have ever had and is so obedient. We are bonded and understand
each other completely. I love him so very much. I look at him daily and think
how in the world did I make it raising this little devil! Some are calm, cool
and collected and some are a challange. He potty trained immediately which
I am extremely grateful for. Even to get an older one, which is always in my mind,
I am so afraid of breaking the bond between us. He loves small dogs. I also
have to walk him in the winters threw ice and snow. It hard at night so to
walk two might be too hard. Also, expenses. I want to be sure I can afford
what may lie ahead in the future and to have double the expenses may be
hard since I am getting closer to retirement. I want to make sure Buddy
has the best of everything and having only one secures that. I guess that's my age taking over. Worrying about tomorrow.
I love looking at all the new arrivals and do envy those who get them.
Then I think back and shudder. LOL It brings me back to reality.
So it's Bud and I. I feel blessed to have found this beautiful campanion.
He's my little man.

I really want another one but the hubby says no. He reminds me of what we had to go through to get this one trained.

tobyfan · 07-10-2008, 07:15 AM

I had Bob for two years as a only house dog. I always wanted to get him a friend after one year because I have to work and I hate leaving him alone. Finally after searching and looking for a year or so I got Marley about a month ago. I dont regret a single thing. Bob isnt all that interested yet but he does seem calmer. I cried the first night I got Marley because Bob seemed to ignore me and it broke my heart that he might be hurt. I dont think so now. He seems to *know* that Marley needs some special time and that Bob will always have the *most specialist* place in Mommys heart forever. And now after having Marley for a month, I think I really might like to have one more rescue. Marley is not housebroke at all and Im dealing with that right now. Soon as I get that under control I will continue to work on my husband about another Yorkie! lol...

Tabatha00 · 07-10-2008, 08:04 AM

I want another one so bad I can't stand it!!!!!!!! I love Mufasa sooooooooooooooo much and I want another one just like him!!!!! lol

He has brought so much LOVE and JOY to our family my heart almost bursts with all the love!!!!!

My husband bought Mufasa so I'm sure I will have to pay for the next one (there WILL be a next one) but it may take me a while to save up the hundreds of a dollars I need to get one. Do you know how much that is KILLING ME????? lol

SexyJessi257 · 07-10-2008, 08:15 AM

Sookie · 07-10-2008, 08:23 AM

I got Kalina in June of '07 and then I got Matty in December of '07. They were immediate friends. Kalina still crys when I hold Matty - not because she's jealous but because she wants me to put Matty down to play. I'm going to definately have a third one some day.

i want a boy but right now isnt a good time with work and all so martini gets all our undivided attention and as soon its a good time i am so gettin a boy lol

Shaena · 07-10-2008, 09:41 AM

I have had one yorkie for four months, and the only thing holding me back from getting another one is lack of space. We rent a one bedroom apartment and already have two cats and a dog. I did however make my husband agree to let me get another one as soon as we get a house! (Although I would prefer to get two more

)
