Just thought I'd add in my opinion on your situation. I didn't plan on getting a dog but when I saw one of these adorable little puppies in person my heart was won over and I got one. I wasn't aware at just how much work goes into caring for a puppy. I knew it was work but, and I think maybe more so with yorkies, I never imagined that it would be so incredibly time consuming. I don't have kids but I honestly feel like this is very similar to that. By my own choice I rarely ever take time out for myself anymore because I want to make sure Samson is cared for and happy. My husband and I both work so when I am home I try to spend all of my time with Samson. My only concern for your situation is the fact that the puppy would be staying with your boyfried. I don't know everything about your personal life but what would happen if you and your boyfriend were not together anymore.....would you be able to take the puppy to live with you and continue to care for him both timewise and financially. I'm not trying to talk you out of getting a puppy because they are very rewarding to have in your life but I just wanted to help you look at all of the possible issues that could arise down the road. As far as the money issue you never know what could come up. Samson ended up breaking his elbow because he jumped off of the second step on the stairs and we took him to a specialist for surgery. It was not cheap but we were in the position where we had the money to pay for what he needed. If you do get a puppy I wish you all the luck because they truly are like angels from heaven!!
