We have 2 german shepherds and as much as I love them I have always wanted a yorkie. I searched for many months about them and my husband kept saying just get one. but i wanted to make sure it was the right thing to do & I wasn't going to go into it lightly. I eventually got my yorkie 2 weeks ago and am so happy. He plays with the german shepherds and sometimes the 17weeks one forgets herself but a firm 'leave' seems to work. I told my hubby that I would do everything for the yorkie but who is it that plays with him most of the time and can't stop cuddling him, yep my husband.
I would say sit down over a cup of tea (or coffee as you do in the States) and tell him how much it would mean to you to have the dog, that you will do everything for the dog, just as you do for the 2 you already have. 3 small dogs will be a doddle. Alfie hasn't had his 2nd injection yet, having it on monday, so he will be able to go out for a walk a week after that. Now that will be interesting. I think I will have to walk the big dogs (Scooter and Layla) separately from Alfie. He can stay with hubby of hubby can walk the big dogs. I do most things for the dogs, hubby is a policeman so works all different times.
Tell your husband that a yorkie is a dear sweet little dog that after buying and vet fees will cost next to nothing to keep. I wish you luck x |
