I would do a pro-con list and put some serious thought into it. So far, for me the answer is so not ready for a 2nd, even though Teddy Boo is calling me name. I mean look at this little face and tell me you couldn't say no.http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...me-person.html I must ignore what my heart wants for now.

I have to agree with Dvlishangel - especially with regard to finances. One bout of pancreatitis (non hospitalized) ran me $1500 from start to finish with Barney. I just had to deal with urinary crystals with Teddy, and I havent added up his total costs but today's outing today was around $120 for a single organ ultrasound plus a vet visit that was reduced.

As an aside, Dvlishangel, I have heard some AMAZING things about Teddy-Boo from Jo Ann - he is a real good boy. He needs a special home - maybe yours?
