Is a second Yorkie the best decision? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Mystify79 · 07-24-2005, 06:32 PM

Having two has been the best thing for us. They keep each other entertained, they always have a buddy and it's twice the love for me.

The only cons I've had have been twice the cost at the vets. They've both had some medical issues and that's been pretty costly. Other than that, I have no complaints! We just took a road trip with my two dogs and my sister's dog and it went great. We prefer to drive when we travel so we don't have any issues taking them all with us. Best wishes on finding a playmate!

We brought home our second Yorkie yesterday. Her name is Daisy and I will be posting pics soon!

Sophie barked at her a lot last evening, but eventually calmed down and is trying to play with her. Daisy is very playful because she's accustomed to being around her littermates.

Our first night went ok. Daisy didn't cry in her kennel. She went right to sleep, as long as I had my fingers in the crate for her to lean against. However, she did wake up 6 times between 10:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. I would much prefer that she wake up to pee a lot, rather than cry in her kennel.

It's going to be a big adjustment for all of us. We had Sophie in such a good routine and I'm trying to get Daisy into the same routine.

My big concern right now is that Sophie seems to be more interested in Daisy than in me. I hope the 'new' phase will wear off soon, and that Sophie will want to snuggle with ME again

I have 2, they are 3 months apart in age, its the best thing i ever did! they entertain each other and they are SO much fun, now i dont feel so guilty if i HAVE to leave them at home alone for a short while, the first few days were difficult as Chelsey did not like it one little bit, but that soon changed and now i have noticed that they make such a great team, Chelsey sticks up for little Chanel and they do EVERYTHING together!!
