I saw a yorkie for the first time 12 years ago and from that day on I said I would get have a few once I had all the kids and they were older. Now, I didn'T wait until my youngest was "older" but I don't regret a thing! I definately would have a housefull...right after I pulled up the carpets and laid tile or laminate or any other wipeable surface...these two have ruined the carpets...that are either new or fairly new!
