Hi All -

I am a new member to Yorkie forum, but have been visiting the site for years. I have had Yorkies since high school. About three months ago I lost my little baby to renal failure. It has been a heartbreaking experience. This was the first one I have had by myself and the last nine years with her were wonderful.

After a lot of internal debate and tears, I have decided to once again add to my family. (First time I thought about it I felt like a traitor or that I was cheating on my little Poppy, but I later realized it was a testament to how much she meant to me and how much richer my life was with her in it.)

I have decided to get two puppies - a boy and a girl - different litter, same breeder, 3 weeks apart. Met both mom's and have spent hours watching these little guys play and romp. I am going out to see them again tomorrow and will be picking them up the end of next week when they will be 12 and 15 weeks old.

I have never had two puppies and have been researching the pro's and con's. I have talked to the breeder in depth and my friends who have gotten two at the same time.

If anyone has gotten two at once and has any advise or tips, I would greatly appreciate the input.

thanks -
