LOL Does their having to share your attention make up for the advantages of having another dog to play with. If you do have another dog, how do Yorkies & Maltese get along? Thanks for your input.
I know a lot of you who have multiple baby's will have other feelings about this. You said that you are home a lot...sometimes adding another can make her/him feel less important. We have had many dogs over the years....and our Schnauzer and our Silky Terrier were very close....BUT.... if you watched the show last night you would notice that in the beginning she stated how perfect her first one was until they added the other. This can breed problems either with bad habits...like barking, potty problems or just not focusing on you as their pack leader. Now... I don't want to upset many of you that have many in one household but if your baby is doing great...and receives lots of love from you... I think that sometimes unless YOU just feel the NEED.... your baby is just fine and you might be better off just being her special Mommy. (PLEASE REMIND ME OF THIS IF I MENTION GETTING A FRIEND FOR TAYLOR) I love him so much.... but the way we travel with him and a small parrot..... we probably won't add another. This is just my humble opinion.... Go with your heart.
