Have you considered a little bigger Yorkie or a little older one? My other 3 Yorkies were 6 7 and 18 lbs and they never had any accidents so it just happens sometimes no matter what size they are.

I definitely want to get a normal size yorkie. I didn't choose Joey because he was tiny. Actually I wasn't even in the market for a yorkie yet... it was in my future plan. But my friend was sharing pictures of her babies, and I just fell in love with him. He was the runt of the litter and was a miracle baby... he survived by sheer will and the tlc of Jeanie. But he was extremely fragile and I won't put myself through that again... I know accidents can happen no matter what the size of the dog ( my poor hubby ran over our 6 yo sheltie some years back and he never got over feeling guilty about it). But with a tiny yorkie, you can't protect them from everything... least of all themselves. The best we can tell, he broke his neck when he tripped and fell either in the yard or on our gravel road. He didn't fall OFF of anything, just tripped on the grass once, and the gravel another time. Anyhow... I don't want to hash that all out again. Thanks for the encouragement. It really does help.
