I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Like you, I never knew how wonderful these little guys were till I got one - or my husband got one, I should say. Now, I can't imagine life without a Yorkie. So, good luck with your landlord - surely he/she will see that you should have a Yorkie. However, he/she might think if you are allowed to have a pet, then everyone will have to be allowed and that may not work. Do you have the option to move if you get bad news? Just a thought, since you seem very committed to getting a Yorkie.
