I would advise you to think the decision over very carefully though. I've seen it happen numerous times - a couple gets a yorkie (having a desire for a little one to care for) a year or so later has a baby. And, the yorkie often is then, maybe not neglected but doesn't get enough attention. I see yorkies and other small dogs rehomed on Craigslist quite often, for this very reason, and I always just hate to see it.  |
Being dropped or stepped on are two dangers I can think of that can end in death.
I've seen the latter too.
