I have to agree with kjcmsw, we lost our lab mix (14 y.o) when I was 14, and I was absolutely devestated. There is a lot going on with you when your pre-teen to teenage years, and while it's painful to lose a pet no matter how old you are, those are crucial years and something that big is too much to handle. If you wait until your youngest is about 8 or 9 I think that would be better. They'll be more able to handle the responsibility and understand that puppies/dogs are fragile esp. when they're as small as yorkies. |
