Are you absolutely set on a yorkie? Are your parents open to having a pet? What about a family dog like a lab or a low maintenance breed. Lots of families have dogs and everyone chips in to do something. My 6 year old son gives Chewy fresh water and a scoop of food when he comes home from school every day. At the end of the week I give him $2.00. A dog can be a wonderful addition to a family and it can bring you so much joy but everyone has to be on the same page. If your mom is at all reticent, she will NOT be pleased when the yorkie starts peeing on her rugs! Good luck.
