| Considering another pet!!! Yorkie or not??? So I have been considering a new pet for our family and I am not sure what to do. I have GiGi, almost 2 and Mosheh, 12 yr old husky. I have been fostering a cat for a friend. I have to keep the husky and the cat separate but GiGi is loving a playmate. I also have two boys 6 and 2, who are great with the animals but neither of the dogs really play with them. I would love to get something GiGi's size but I would also like to get something the boys would enjoy. Any suggestions????

| A yorkie of course ! If your not sure maybe go to a rescue and take your children with you and see which pup fits your family the best?

| A yorkie was my FIRST choice but I am considering a pug, boston terrier. soft coated wheaten terrier. I do want a dog that will be good with the kids and play with GiGi!! But I am open to any and all suggestions. I only work about 30 hours a week and I have a dog walker. They only thing about me, is that I dont do puppies!! I know... weird but for some reason I just wont consider one!!!

| Well of course a yorkie! But if you want to switch it up, how about a Westie (West Highland White Terrier) So cute!!

| When I was looking at petfinder at what yorkies were available for adoption nearby, I noticed many of them were quite large. Like 12-15 lbs. Maybe a larger yorkie that would be good with kids and a smaller one?

| I do like Westies too. There is this guy that walks his two westies everyday in the park. My younger son is afraid of dogs (not our own dogs of course!) but he really seem to like them. Neither one of our two dogs really bark and they dont jump either, so I need a calm dog that will play with the boys??? Is this possible???
