Hello all - I know I am brand new to the forum, but if anyone has time to share their experiences with me, I would be very grateful. A family friend has a littler of yorkie puppies and has offered me a very sweet, very calm male who is about 9 weeks old. I really want him, but as I am a single person who has never raised a puppy by herself before, I am very intimidated. I have two weeks off right now to start him off on the right foot, but judging from the posts I have read on this site (yes, I've been stalking
, it sounds like peepads are going to be part of my life for the next few years? As I already clean out my two cats' litter boxes, I'm not sure how I feel about that. That brings me to my other concern - one of my cats has lived with dogs before, but one hasn't, and of course they have to be my first priority when considering a new puppy. How are yorkies in general with cats?
Anyway, I need to come to a real decision quickly, and if anyone has any personal experiences that could help me one way or the other, I would really appreciate it!
