We've had Sophie for 3.5 months. She is almost 6 months old. We are THISCLOSE to purchasing another one, but before I pull the trigger, I wanted input from those of you who have more than one.

My concerns are:
Will a new puppy mess up Sophie's routine with sleeping, potty training, etc? My main concern is that the new puppy doesn't wake up Sophie at night when she's learning to sleep thru the night.

Traveling with 2 yorkies. I am only one person, and I take Sophie with me a lot.

Basically I wonder if 2 is just too much to handle.

Did any of you find that the second one was easier, just because you kinda knew the ropes?

Or did you think 'what have I done?' after adopting the second.

I would love to hear any pros and cons.

I have a couple of reasons for wanting another one.
THe biggest reason is that I simply want another Yorkie to love, raise and bring into our family.

The other reason is so that Sophie will have a playmate. She spent a night with my sister and her Yorkie, and had the time of her life. Even my sister is now thinking of another one.

Thanks for any input.
