Morning Everybody,

I am about to have a nervous breakdown and I need all your great advise and suggestions. I have been dying to have a Yorkie ever since I was very little and now on April 4th I arranged to pick up my first Yorkie. Sounds cool right?

Everybody around me is trying to talk me out of getting my baby and making me so nervous by telling me that it is too much responsibility, too consuming, too much work, too much this and that.

Could you please give me your honest opinion if a 25 year old full time working female can handle a Yorkie? What would be the pros and cons? How much time and how much money would a Yorkie consume? For how long could they stay on their own? Would it be too hard to train? Would it be too needy?

I will need to make up my mind soon and inform my breeder but I really need to talk to people who understands me. People around me just dont get it!

Please help me out before I lose it!
