Sorry - but I'm always the mean one....
I think this whole thing is ridiculous.
Why in the world would anyone get two puppies if they can't tolerate the two little guys playing in the evening -- or put up with their waking up or having to go potty during the night.
MaryKay - when you have children - you can multiple these discomforts or inconveniences a hundred times.... and you can't be disappointed with your babies size or return them.
Dogs (especially smaller house dogs) need to be in a home where they are loved unconditionally and treated as part of the family.
If my husband's main concern in life was watching TV to the exclusion of everything else - I don't know what I would do... I think I would get him a TV in another room.
And being awakened at night - I wake up every night many times for a hundred different reasons....and then go back to sleep. Don't all of us wives and mothers do this?
Anyway - MaryKay - I think you are lucky to have two wonderful little dogs. They are only pups and puppies have to play, and play-fight, and romp and do all the things that puppies do. A lot of this behavior improves as they become older and become trained. My fear, is that with your husband's complaints, you don't have much of a chance to enjoy your little guys and give them the type of home they deserve. That's too bad.
And what is this size thing!!!! Big Yorkies are very little dogs! They are totally wonderful little pets.
I think your real problem is your husband. If you can't get him to tolerate and enjoy the puppies more, I don't think you have much of a chance to work things out.
But - I certainly do wish you the best of luck. I think you and your husband have to sit down and discuss these little puppies and decide whether or not they can become a real part of your family. They must be just as loveable as can be....I can't understand why he doesn't want to enjoy them more than he does.
Good luck!
