Just because a puppy could turn out to have some health problems doesn't mean I shouldn't get one. That's like saying that you shouldn't have sex because your baby may turn out to have some sort of genetic problem. I'm sure most people who own a pet understand the risks of getting one, or at least should. That said, I'm sure 9 times out of 10 the puppy will be just fine. If it's not, then of course I'll still take care of it. Though school will be an obstacle, I always have my parents to help me out, one of which is a stay-at-home mom.
The other points have already been addressed a couple of times before, but thank you for giving your advice.  |
You do sound like someone who would dedicate themselves to a pet. Ive kept tropical fish and that was hard work and alot of time let alone saltwater fish.
Anyhow yorkies arn't fish and with myself owning my first yorkie, it can be demanding.
Saying that ,if I had read some of the posts on this thread about health , I may have been scared to get one lol
Not sure if its luck or what but my Tia doesn't bark when I leave her and hasn't yet had any health emergencies.What people are saying is you need to be prepared for it mentally and financially if they arise.For example my last dog was a border collie and I didn't think about brushing her teeth but yorkies can get a lot of mouth problems.
Noone wants to be negative, just provide you with our experiences.
Good luck with your decision.
