College, commuting(and maybe a job?), there's not going to be lot of free time.
I waited over a decade before getting my yorkie. It was worth the wait. My sister just finished college last year. She had two dogs. It was a nightmare having to deal with them while going through her schooling. She ended up rehoming one and the other is staying with our mother STILL(half a year after she's graduated). |
I agree with this. My second oldest girl was a puppy when I was finishing up an accelerated degree program. It was a nightmare! Luckily I had my husband to help me. Still I would wait until you start your courses before deciding if you have the time to take care of yorkie. Especially since most of the yorkies I know of are not low maintenance. It is essentially your decision. I know your going to do what you want to do regardless (and rightly so). But I hope you take heed of the advice here.
