Hi everyone,

thanks for your advice!

Gemy, the bar is not as stressful or time consuming as law school. I'll be home 24/7 for three months, so I can watch my baby pup. I can easily go from studying to not studying, which allows me to be there for my pup, erratic schedule and all.

Also, I have my jobs lined up so that's not a big concern right now. That's why I think it's a perfect time for a dog. I've wanted one for the last 8 years (I'm 29). Now that I'm wrapping up my studies and I have the foreseeable future planned out (even my partner), I want a lovely companion in the form of a puppy.

As for the concern of training my pup, I should be getting a dog that's 12 weeks old, add on another 12 weeks for training/my bar prep, I'll have a 6 month old pup by the time I start my job.

I talked to the law grads who currently have the position that I will be taking in August, and I asked about my hours and if they thought it's possible to have a dog. Both said they had dogs, and recommended some great day cares and dog walkers in the area. If my puppy is having a really hard time, I'm sure I can convince my employer to bring the pup with me.

I've also done my research on how to travel with a dog. I already asked multiple breeders if it's safe to fly with my Yorkie twice a month (to see my partner), and they assured me that Yorkies fly well. I just need to get Vet approval 30 days before the flight. Can do.

And I've definitely taken the time to analyze how my puppy will affect my life. For example, I've had to wear down my partner for three years for him to finally agree to us having a dog (he's afraid of big dogs). His conditions were that I get a dog that does not shed, one that is reasonably small so that it can fit in our studio & tiny car, and that it be a bit feisty. Apparently he used to play with a funny shih-poo awhile back and loved her. I thought the Yorkie would be a perfect match for us.

Regarding my puppy hunt, I decided against tiny yorkie kisses. I just did not trust the website, and the reviews were questionable.

I'm also not beholden to a super small dog. I'm plenty fine with a 4-7 pound dog. I'll love it all the same.

Finally, I've been speaking to Deb from AmazingYorkies (although she went MIA for the last two days), and I think her Yorkies are the most precious things ever! If Deb will have me, I'd definitely love to adopt one of her pups.
