Good Evening Everyone!
First and foremost, thank you all for your responses. I really appreciate everyone's insight on this (whether it be pros or cons) ^_^
I would say that Manny is a friendly dog. My sister has a dog, and we go to their house to visit every weekend. They LOVE to play. They pretty much play ALL DAY. Every time we go home from their place; he's knocked out in the car. We also try to take him to the dog park every weekend if the weather is nice. When he's there, he interacts with the other dogs just fine. Never aggressive. However, he does seem a little skittish when bigger dogs come around (Manny is only 3lbs). He'll hide between our legs and wait for them to leave. The only dog he seems to hate is my friend's shiba inu (Kona)... but i'm thinking this is because Kona kept trying to slap Manny with his paws >.< So I can't really blame him lol.
Manny is potty-trained. I can't say completely, because he will have an occasional accident every so often (maybe 1-2 times per month).
My boyfriend and I already spoke about the added expense of getting another yorkie, and we're prepared and able to take on that added responsibility.
One of the main reasons why we're considering getting another yorkie, is because if/when we do leave Manny at home... he will not do anything besides sleep and wait for us to come home. It breaks my heart every time we leave (even if it's only for 30 minutes) because he will follow us to the door and just give us this sad look. Manny isn't ever by himself for a long period of time either. Even though I work an 8-5 job; my boyfriend is here during the day and goes to work a few hours after I get home.
My only concern is how Manny will feel about having another dog around. I don't want him to have a hard time with it, or think he did anything wrong, or be jealous, or think we don't love him as much anymore, etc. We absolutely LOVE Manny to death and are completely happy with him. I just don't want him to think that mommy and daddy are replacing him
