Hi everyone. I would like some input from those of you who have a really small Yorkie. I have a Morkie named Lucy and she is about ten pounds.

A friend of a friend has a 4 1/2 pound Maltese that she can no longer care for due to monetary issues and a new baby. The Maltese, Peanut is 2 years old. She needs the money, and wants $300 for her. She is purebred with papers, not spayed. I definitely plan to spay her if I keep her.

I have her with me tonight just to see how she and Lucy get along. Everything is great...they have been playing together all night. Peanut also pays no attention to my cat and has been going out to do her business without a problem. She is so darn cute and I think Lucy will appreciate the company while I'm at work all day.

I guess this small little dog scares me in some ways. Do these really small dogs have any health problems in relation to their size? Is it really any more difficult to keep two dogs? Will it help Lucy to have another dog in the house to keep her from getting lonely? Sorry for all the questions, but Lucy is really my first and only dog! Thanks for any and all input.
