I think having a second dog is nice for the first one to have a companion, BUT that second one is still going to require a lot of attention. So, you will have TWO needing attention instead of one. If you are already stressed for time, you might reconsider getting a second.
I have two boys, and I LOVE having two. They do play a lot together, and they keep each other company. But, they both need lots of attention. I think most yorkies need more attention than other breeds....that's just my experience.
Also, don't forget that means two to bathe, brush and groom. I spend a lot of time with my dogs. I'm either playing with them or taking care of their grooming needs, walking them, or training them. Maybe you can see if there are any doggy day cares in your area. Even one or two days a week might make the difference. |
