My concern is we have a 14+ year old cat which we haven't even gotten Chester and him together much, other then rubbing noses. Anything more, Chester gets to excited , and then I have to pull them away before the cat wacks him

I work during the day, and the wife works 3 nights a week 12 hour shifts at the hospital

Would having two Yorkies, maybe getting little more mature one keep each other company?

My friend just got a 2nd Maltesse , and said the whole dynamics changed by having two dogs now

The Vet last week actually encouraged it, and said its easier to manage two of them, they keep each other company

Thoughts?

Here's my thoughts; it's a lot of work and time... I had 2 puppies before but I waited until my first puppy was well associated with ppl and other dogs trained to go potty this like that. To me it was important because training the new puppy wasn't too hard for me since she followed everything my other puppy did. That was yrs ago and now I'm searching for a new puppy as a playmate for my honey buns. I love biewer puppies they are so cute but I'll leave the specific info about them to the pros
