Just wanted to add that I am waiting patiently saving for our second, we make good money, but I save my own stash for the things that I want, I also save a good chunk for the unexpecteds, so I basically need twice the amount to get my dog before hubby feels ok about it. I have 5,000 saved so far but hubby says its not enough. We don't really talk about the price of the dog until he feels like there is enough saved, This is really annoying but it is also nice if we ever need it. So according to hubby I could not afford to spend 1000 on a yorkie right now, But I take really good care of the one I have and keep saving for Coppers future sis/bro
