Ok, now that that's out of the way...... I'd love to get a 2nd Yorkie..... more for him than me..... but here's the issue.. we have a cat that he love's more than his favorite squeeky toy,,,, I know the cat loves to play with him, but the cat is about 8 years old and needs some rest, which Bently seldom gives him.... at least when we are home and can watch them both..... If the cat is in the backyard Bently wants to chase him all over the yard. The only rest the cat gets is when Bently can't physically get to him. So I'm thinking about a brother or sister for Bently......
Here's the main issue. Bently is extremely jealous. If I pet the cat,,,, Bently runs over and attacks the cat (not really attacks).... when I sit down next to my wife,,,,, Bently runs over jumps up on the couch and gets between us.
I'm afraid that a 2nd Yorkie might have alot of trouble fitting in.
Suggestions?
Thanks
And yes, I still have a man card........ even though I love my Yorkie....  |
Where to start? ... First off, I am 100% guy, too. The kind that plays for the right team and I LOVE YORKIES (not that there is anything wrong with those who don't… play for the right team that is). After admitting this, I have no intention of ever joining a 12 step yorkies anonymous program.
Now on to the real issue; I am really glad we got a second yorkie. They keep each other company and are in many ways less total work than one since they play together so much. And if you are tossing a fetch toy, 2 can play as well as one. They like to jointly fetch and return the toy together, sometimes with some good wrestling in between. When you walk one, its not that much harder to walk two (although I wish there was a better retractable leash that would not tangle when they cross). You see a lot of chase and other funny behavior you would never see with just one. So if you can afford the vet bills and the extra hassle when traveling, get another one and you won’t regret it.
