I NEVER thought I would be considering this but I think that Gracie needs a sissy!! I am not certain yet. Part of me wonders if I can love another as much but hey I have three kids and I love ALL of them! Anyway I really think that instead of another Yorkie-as much as I love her that I want a Maltese. Any thoughts? Female vs. Male? Maltese vs. Yorkie? Does it make a difference with males if they are neutered at 8 weeks with marking etc.? Give it to me! I really want to hear opinions to help me sort this out.
