| When should I get a new pupppy? I got my first yorkie in August. He is now 5 months old. Right now, my boyfriend's border collie is staying with us. Shes been here the entire time we've had my yorkie. Riley and Shady play everyday and they are so happy. The only problem is Shady is going back to my boyfriend's parents. She was only staying here for a few months. I'm worried about Riley getting lonely, especially since my boyfriend and I both work and go to school. I thought about getting a new Yorkie around March, but I'm not sure if thats too early since Riley won't even be a year old yet. |

| I know I can take care of another pup now, but I'm also worried about Riley getting jealous. He sometimes got jealous of the other dog, but not much because Shady is huge compared to Riley. Since he is still a baby, he might get even more jealous at a puppy that is his size and at his level. |

| My dogs are very close in age and I like that. We got Tina because we knew Tbone was lonely at home, and even though it doesn't seem like they are best friends, when they are separated they search and search for each other! So even when they are alone they still have each other, and I can tell that makes a difference to them.n Plus, you can never have just one!!!!

| I think it's better to get them when they're young, so they can grow up together. Good luck finding a new baby.
