Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I want to scream I am just venting, I have been waiting 2 years to finally get my yorkie baby and now after all this time I finally have the money to get one. and now my husband tells me no we can't get one. I am angry and sad at the same time. We have two mini dachshunds and he says one more dog will be too many. I want to cry! I feel like my 12 yr old when he cant have something. I don't know what I should do... it has come to the point that he has said to just do what ever I am going to do, he has told me to get the dog but I know if I do he will be very and I do mean very angry w/ me. Any thoughts? Be honest its ok. I like honesty...

| I would sit with my DH and explain my side to him, hopefully after hearing your heartbreak he will understand your emotions. If that don't work, get the dog anyways!

| He said I could NOT have a cat in the house...I got a cat. He said he wouldn't have a dog in HIS house, I got Maddie. He said two dogs was out of the question and would NEVER happen...now we have Cooper too, and HE fell in love with them all! The moral of my story is...hubbies stick around and become even bigger softies! |

| I just keep asking every day and eventually he gets so sick of hearing it that he gives in. I make sure that when I ask I'm doing it in a light-hearted, joking kind of way so that I don't put too much pressure on him. It's worked 2 yrs in a row for me. I've already started asking for my 3rd Yorkie a year in advance. In all seriousness, if there is a REALLY good reason not to get the Yorkie, then you'll have to agree with him, but if not...I'd just do it anyways. I'm a bad influence though, don't listen to me

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I would sit and discuss the issue and tell him how much getting this pup means to you.. and if that fails, tell him is HIM or the DOG and the dog wins.. |

| I don't know about your DH but mine needs time. Usually when I play it his way he will come around. I also do slight joking hints. I am now looking for a male, he will be our third. I let my husband put the lights on the Christmas tree (first time I haven't argued the entire time with him about the lights) he turns to be and says "don't cheep out, get a good one" Although we have, ok I have been talking about it for a long time

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Go For It! Get the pup! Your husband will fall in LOVE just as you will. Sit him down and tell him you are doing it and you hope he will learn to be OK with it. Dont leave him any room to say no. He knows you have wanted it for 2 years and to tell you NO now is a crock of crap! He will LOVE the dog! |

| Why is he saying "no more"...what really is bothering him. Is it $$$, do you give the other two dogs more affection than him? does he not like dogs? Who does all the work with the dogs?

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I think its the money, that has a big part in it, he says that they are too expensive, btw our dachshunds were given to us, so having to pay for a dog is out of the question for him. I do all the work w/ them, which is why I think I can handle another especially now since I am going to school and am home more to spend time with the new puppy. he says he doesnt like dogs but the second I turn around he's loving on the dogs and talking to them in baby talk his way. its cute... but I mention the third one and he's like "no" doesnt even look at me when he says it b/c I give him the puppy dog eyes and he can't tell me no when I give him those eyes, I'm not gonna give up though.
