I have 2 dogs because my first one needed a friend. Ironically, his previous owner got rid of him because she said he wasn't getting along with her other 5 yorkies.
When I got him, I think he enjoyed being the only child. He got lots of attention, didn't need to fight over food and he was a spoiled boy...but he didn't do very well alone. Every time Id leave the house, he'd poo on the floor. It's because he's a nervous pooper....he gets nervous and his tummy gets upset and then he has to poop. He also started to get lazy and lethargic around the house.
Anyways....Prince had been around yorkies all of his life until he came to live with me...and he was always so excited to go to my moms to visit her yorkies(his 2 sons)...in fact, it was the only time he ever got excited so I think he really missed having the companionship. Sooo, I decided I'd try to adopt a little girl to keep him company.
After months and months of looking and trying and getting refused, I found a little boy on petfinder that was just too cute to pass up. He ended up being a perfect fit and they are now best friends. No more nervous pooping in the house. He occasionally has an accident, but it's because nobody is there to let him out. Personality wise, the boys are at the opposite end of the spectrum so they make a great fit!!! They are like 2 peas in a pod!! |
