I don't know how old your babies are, but I can tell you my story for what it's worth! I got my first little female in March because I had empty nest syndrome with all of my kids being grown and gone....In July, I listened to everyone tell me how much happier she would be with a playmate so I brought home a little male August 1. My sweet little girl's personality changed drastically. She no longer played with her toys, she seemed unhappy, and I was overwhelmed with all of the extra work. She didn't really seem to want him around and tried to totally ignore him. I cried the first 3 or 4 days thinking it was the biggest mistake I had ever made....my husband was not much help because he thought it was a bad idea from the start, so I thought I was going to have to "rehome" this precious little boy. I felt so overwhelmed and like such a failure because I kept reading about all of these people that had 2,3 and 4 Yorkies and how great it was to have more! Well, on about the 5th day I was really becoming attached to this little guy and I noticed that Lola, my little girl, was starting to "look" his way. Later that day, they were asleep together in one of their beds and from that day on they have been inseparable. That is not to say that they don't like to spend time alone with us, but I can't imagine one now without the other. I never worry when I have to leave and run errands or go out, because they do have each other. They still get in their little tiffs now and then, and I will put one or the other in my lap to separate them when they play too rough, but all in all, it really was the best thing I ever did. I do think the first couple of weeks was rough...it's twice as much work, and forget about those naps you got to take when you had just one! But, it really does get easier and they eventually do get on the same schedule....and you do get those naps back! If you can just stick these first couple of weeks out, it will be alot easier and it's worth it. Good luck~! |
