| This is NOT a good idea in MHO...... My 13 year old niece will be 14 next month and wants a small yorkie for her birthday..only problem is she has a very very lively 2 year old sister..we were there just last weekend with our 7 year old Staffie and she WOULD NOT leave him alone..she was a nightmare...she pulled his feet, ears, rolled his lips back to look at his teeth constantly followed him around..at one point in the garden she got hold of a claw hammer and was clumping my dog over his back with it! Our staffie, bless him was so tolerant..not many dogs would have been! I'm dreading her meeting Pixie! i'm going to be such an over-protective mummy and my sister will take offence to that i'm sure.. My 2 year old neice is such a tearaway..she is unbelievable! and for just 2 years old she is very very headstrong and pretty nasty sometimes..i'll give you an example..i was sat chatting with my sister when all of a sudden my little neice leans towards me and just pinches the skin on my arm and left a red mark..no reason for it at all. I think it is going to be the worst idea bringing a tiny yorkie puppy into that household..it is far too noisy & busy (they also have a 7 year old son) and it is going to be an accident waiting to happen! They are always short of money too..they have lived in their house for 2+ years and can hardly afford the renovations let alone the cost of a puppy and would have no spare cash in an emergency. My sister has her hands full with 3 children and is constantly worn out and stressed at the best of times and it is she who will be left at home all day with a trying 2 year old and a puppy! I think my 13 year old neice has been asking her father constantly for a dog and, as usual he has given in and my sister has been overruled yet again! I can't say too much to her about what i think as my neice wants this dog so badly and my sister would be offended if i told her how i felt about it. I can just see heartache ahead...

| Sounds like if they do go through with the idea, eventually YOU will be getting a new addition. Because that situation doesn't sound like it will last......

| Couldn't you just tell her that she might not have time to take care of this yorkie?? Gosh, I don't know what to tell you...I'm sure others will have good suggestions for you.

| Maybe if you just sat down with her and explained all the things you have had to go through she would think about it again. If her husband rules the roost you might want to talk to him.

| My neice said earlier (on messenger) that she is getting a crate (cage) tomorrow..i can see this puppy having to be shut in this constantly out of the 2 year olds way! when we were there last weekend..my dog was in the lounge, my sisters hubby was sat watching tv and my neice of course was pestering the dog..and all of a sudden he shouts...SHUT THE DOG IN THE GARDEN! because she was pestering him so much...my dog gets shut in a tiny garden in the hot sun with no shade! i didnt leave him there long i can tell you....

| My daughter will be 13 on the 30th of this month. She has BEGGED me for a yorkie all her own. I put her solely, 100% in charge of Susanah for 24 hours. She no longer wants a yorkie all her own.
