I agree. I have five Yorkies and I can tell you that the biggest drawback is the vet bills. Teeth cleaning, shots, heartworm preventative and when needed flea/tick preventative and that's not counting if one gets sick. Last Summer we lost our 10 year old Yorkie to cancer and went through $3,000 trying to save him. I love my babies and I'm lucky that I have an understanding husband but I know he does get aggrevated over what I spend on vetting, grooming, food and just general stuff I get them. It's like having 5 kids without health insurance.
