We've owned dogs in the past but only adopted and although the thought of a dog that doesn't shed is absolute music to my wife's ears, especially with our 4 year olds allergy complications, the $700-$1000+ price tag doesn't outweigh the benefits in her eyes.
As much as I want to simply make the purchase and surprise her with hopes that she'll fall in love with it the responsible side of me doesn't want to risk having to rehome the pup......and myself! Obviously no one wins in that scenario.
I guess I'm venting at this point but would like to hear if anyone else experienced this in the beginning. Help me sell my wife on the idea!! |
Oh my gosh! You are in luck! Justifying purchases of things I want is my speciality!!!
A typical yorkie from a reputable breeder $1000-$1200 depending on sex. You know yorkies generally live a long time, right...like ~15 years, so that is less than $100 a year! What a bargain! That's about a quarter a day! You can't even buy a cheapo cup of coffee at your local gas station for that!
Technology minded? A yorkie is cheaper than an imac! As much as I love my apple products, I doubt they'll still be working well ten years from now, but the yorkie you'll still have! Or what about those fancy 3d BIG screen tvs??? Cost way more than a yorkie and you know they 'll be obsolete in five years!
See? A yorkie is a freeekin bargain! All that love and adorability in a little hairy package. So cheap!
