Are you sure that as a student you can afford to take care of a second yorkie? Yorkies cost money to take care of properly. Their little bodies need a healthy diet (not some cheapo food like Kibbles 'N Bits). They need regular veterinary care which includes annual exams, vaccinations, blood work, dental cleanings, heartworm preventative, flea/tick preventative - and that's all just routine maintentance care that runs several hundred dollars a year per pup. It doesn't begin to cover the cost of a sick or injured pet, or the spay/neuter a new pup will need.
Once you make the commitment to adopt a pet it becomes YOUR responsibility for the rest of it's life. They are living creatures who deserve the very best care and lots of love, which does not include getting rid of them because they get sick or because you want to get another puppy. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but
real pet ownership is hard, time consuming and expensive - when it's done right. If you aren't going to do it right, don't do it.
Here's a few threads for you to read over while you decide if you really are ready to add that little girl to your family.
