My two Yorkies are almost 3 years apart. I got the second to keep my 1st company while I worked. Merlin, the oldest, wanted nothing to do with Mickey - and still doesn't from time to time. But they do sleep near each other and I believe they need each other. Their personalities are different. Merlin use to never bark.. till we got Mickey. He's the yappy type that taught Melrin to bark at everything. I'll second the comments that the noise levels increase, the vet bills increase, the need attention increases... but so do the kisses, puppy eyes, and that unconditional dog love! |
