I can see where everyone here is all gung-ho about more yorkies no matter what, but keep in mind that you are the one who knows Mickey best. My 7-year old, Pivo, has been an only dog for the past 6 years. We had a chow-chow when we got him and he loved her to death.
Now Pivo still lives with my parents and I live in another state. When I went home this past weekend I brought my baby yorkie with me (13 weeks). Pivo was okay but not very happy about him the first night, then the next day when my boyfriend and I went shopping and left the baby home with Pivo and my parents, he freaked out! I guess he thought we had left him there permanently. He growled and tried to bite, not only Ness (the baby), but my parents and brother, too.
He is the sweetest little guy but another dog is just not in the cards for that house at the moment. Also keep in mind that with two dogs, I hear that they'll pay more attention to each other and not have the same attachment to you that they once had.
Probably the best thing to do would be to find out if you can bring the/a puppy home for a couple of days and see how Mickey reacts. Their personalities are as, if not more, varied than humans'. Let us know when there are any updates! |
