Prior to reading the linked thread, I had one way of answering, now I wonder just how ingenuous you are being?

But for future readers of this thread. Spoiling a dog, in the manner you described is not spoiling at all. Instead it shows the owners took the time to involve themselves in the dogs life, to find fun and interactive ways to be with their pups.

All dogs have different personalities, some more aloof then others, some very gregarious. But all dogs, and particularly YOrkies will show affection towards their loved ones. When Razz was just a puppy he always wanted to be in my lap, that was great, loved it. Then when he got older not so much; why? My reason is we have two large dogs that are his pack mates, and they lay at my feet. So Razz has taken his place at my feet too, now that he is all grown up. Will he still lay in my lap? You bet, but mostly he steals the prime position by laying ontop of my feet with the two large dogs to either side.

Your dogs personality to a large extent will reflect the effort and time you have put into their care and well-being.
As another poster has said it doesn't have to be huge amounts of time, but focussed quality time with your dogs. Every time you touch your dog with love, a brief caress, a yummy tidbit of food, your dog inside will beam to that love. Will return it 100 fold.

When I go shopping (a brief trip), one dog and that changes daily, comes with me for a brief ride in the car, an individual Mommy time. Each dog is groomed individually, and I totally focus on that dog, with the other two laying pressed up against the grooming room door, but they know their turn will come very soon.

You are not ready for another dog in your life. Work with the two you have.
