Much as I love him my dh would pitch a hissy if I asked for another dog right now. I have been working on him lately though cause I want a little calico kitten!!!! (Jodi, he's weakening big time!)

Here are a few things I have considered when I have thought about getting another one.

1. Just walk in and put the puppy in his lap and let the puppy convince him to let him stay. (It worked for Gracie!)

2. Get the puppy and roll it around in dirt and mud. Then bring it home. "Look what I found wandering around on that busy old highway. I saved it's life, poor little thing."

3. "I had to rescue him/her! He/she was being carried around by the tail by a two-year old!" or "No one was adopting him/her from the shelter! Poor little thing - he/she was so sad and wanted a home sooooo badly!"

4. Keep showing him baby pictures of the yorkie(s) you have now. my dh's heart melts every time he sees Skeeter and Adie's. Heck just keep showing him pictures of any yorkie. (He's hooked - he just doesn't want more dogs in the house right now.)

5. All of our yorkie's behavior problems will go away if he/she had a brother or sister.

Hey, I didn't say any of these were honest! Good luck!
