Thanks to everyone. I read every post thoroughly. I only work May to October, and leave around 8am and back by 3-4pm, but I know Mr. Darcy would like a companion as he loves playing with my friend's Yorkie, and my son's cat! He has full run of the house and deck. I leave his kibble down with his water, and he 'grazes'! I used to have a Toy Poodle and Great Dane at the same time. Then 2 chow chows at the same time (plus cats always!) so I am used to more than one dog together.....of course Yorkie are small, so this is 'a good thing'!! I will need to travel to Florida in the winter with 2 puppies on the plane, but that's OK, as my husband can look after one, and me the other!! Going to start looking now for a little girl, so I can spend some time with her and Mr. Darcy together before I am off to work!!
