Hi All!

I have a 1 year and 2 month old little girl, Sophie. My husband and I have been thinking about getting her a sibling for several months. Next year (in the fall) I'll be starting a new job and we're going to try to get pregnant soon, so I figured it would be nice for her to have a playmate when life starts to get hectic next year.

We met with two little Yorkie puppies tonight. Sophie was very nervous at first, actually drooled a lot. Then she snaped at them a bit, but then became very curious and somewhat playful with the one. That's the one we would probably end up getting.

We really want her to have a sibling, but are nervous that it won't go well or she'll be mad at us. What are your opinions on having or not having a second Yorkie? Will she be timid for a bit but then adapt?

Any advice or opinions are greatly appreciated. Thank you SO, SO much!!
