I would have a couple questions.
You're going to move out --- when??
You don't have a job right now??
Your mother is going to help you with your apartment??
She is concerned about your one dog peeing and pooping in the house
(Two will do more!)
Another thing - if you do get an apartment - will it allow you to have two dogs... can you afford a damage deposit for two little dogs - and what if they do damage - carpets, furniture, etc....
I am not trying to critize you at all - I'm probably just a little like your mother. If you are planning to move out - she's probably thinking that you should be getting a job - and saving your money. Buying dog clothes and another little Yorkie (as loveable as all this is) is really a luxury that she probably feels you just can't afford right now.
Plus - if you stay in her house with "two" dogs - she may really start complaining about peeing and pooping... rightfully so.
And - if you move out with two little Yorkies - and then have to leave them at home while you work - training and keeping them from having accidents is even more difficult to do - and - you especially don't want this if you're in an apartment. (What if you get a little barker - another thing to consider!)
** As a mother - (not really know your situation) -- I would want my daugher to save some money, find a job, find a nice place to live --- and start out with only one little dog - and see how things work out. I think you would really find this a better and easier way to start out on your own.
Nevertheless - lots of luck and I hope everything works out well for everyone.
