I am a stay at home mom..BUT I don't think you shouldn't get a puppy just cause you can't stay at home. There are lots of moms that have to work these days..I'm lucky that I don't have to..but you wouldn't put off having a child because you have a career or a job so why should you have to if you adopt a furbaby. That is why they have crates..for people that have to leave home. I don't think it makes you a bad yorkie owner just because you have to work to make a living for yourself. I beleive people have different ways in how they are a pet owner. As long as the pet is taken care of it doesn't make you a bad owner because you don't see it the way others do. We all parent our children different and we all care for our yorkies different.
I hope I don't offend anyone with my opinion and it isn't my intention to start a big ol debate. I do think getting two yorkies is a WONDERFUL idea exspecially if you have to work. For me I would at least wait a few weeks in between buying two but just because it gives you time to bond and the pet time to bond to you. Sometimes if you buy two at the same time..those two pets can bond more to each other. But if thats what someone wants to do it doesn't make them a bad pet owner. As far as expenses..if you love something you find a way to pay for their care. I couldn't afford to have kids when I did..but i found a way and nearing the end of their childhood..i look back and realize that we had a tough beginning but in the end I gave them all they needed and a whole lot of what they wanted.
