Question Of The Year!!!!!! Help! - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

bfollowell · 07-14-2008, 11:46 AM

Melissa,

Great news! I hope my advice helped at least a little bit. That's one important thing to remember about us guys. No matter how much we may act like we don't, most of us want to be involved in the decision making. We want to know that our opinions matter. Deep down, most of us know that the ladies in our lives have our best interests at heart and most of what you guys ask for or ask us to do or whatever, makes us happier, better men in the long run. Still, we hate to be treated like children or have something imposed on us. Asking our opinions goes a long way with most of us, even if things don't go our way.

Maybe if my ex had ever learned that lesson, I'd still be married! Oh well, truth be told, I'm certain there are lessons I learned too late as well. I'll definitely be ready if there's ever a next time though, assuming she loves my little guys of course.

I would getthe puppy now that he is on board. It's nice to get the male perspective, Byron!!! You need to post more often!

Looks like you and your darling BF can work this out

Tino has beautiful offspring . I would have been tempted to keep at least a few too. They are gorgeous .

Puppy will be so much fun for you guys. Best wishes to the both of you!

Mayas Mommy · 07-14-2008, 12:37 PM

JPop & Taz 2 · 07-14-2008, 12:53 PM

I have 5 yorkies. One of them is an offspring (and 1st born

) of one of my males, Taz. I wouldn't say TJ (Taz Jr) is my favorite, but he definitely holds a special place in my heart, after all, he is my GRANDDOG!

Get the puppy, you won't be sorry.

Problem: I want another pup (preferably of Tino's kin). I am going to have to tell one of our "clients" this evening which payment I am going to charge being "pick of litter" or a "stud fee". So I was all gun~ho about charging the pup becuase the dam's owner was leaning toward it not to mention I need another yorkie in my life~haha. My boyfriend, however, (who I live with) was not thrilled about the idea. Now it is crunch time and I need to make a decision. The boyfriend said "Do what you want, I just don't think we need another animal in the house right now"

Question: What does that mean?!??! What should I do, I am so tempted and I am unsure if I do go for it if he will be PO'ed or what? I know that there are things that I can use the money for but I have puppy fever again?!?! Oh what to do? Help me YT'ers!

Side Note: My mother told me to save the money and buy the toy I want instead (Jet Ski) <---which I have been saving for. (however my mother is a hypocrit because she just had the same issue with my father and she ended up getting Jack a Pom-a-poo)

HELP HELP HELP!!!!

Puppy or Money? Ahhh!

easy answer for pick of the litter.. poor lonely one dog home
you need 2.. cuz dogs r pack animals
balanced happy dogs are pairs

ChantalB · 07-14-2008, 01:42 PM

Do I even have to answer... lol

PUPPY!!!

Wigfur · 07-14-2008, 01:44 PM

well... say something like... "I have baby fever.. so it's a baby puppy or a baby HUMAN!" that is how I got leo... ha ha

scrapindee · 07-14-2008, 01:54 PM

I would go with the puppy if s/he steals your heart; you can always raise another stud fee, if you need extra $$$ right?

That is absolutely HILARIOUS!!!!

UPDATE*

I met with the woman last night and we may be leaning toward a stud fee after all. I wasn't aware of the fact that this is her dog's first litter so we are unsure what the "average" litter would be, she may only have one and then I would get the stud fee anyway after getting all excited about getting the pup. I don't know we kind of left it up in the air. I will be recieving the female on Sunday and that is when we will sign all the papers and finalize payment. I am kindof upset

I really want one of Tino's offspring, especially now that I have Nic on board! I don't know, I guess it is bound to happen some day~ (Too bad I want that day to be TODAY!) LOL.

Melissa, I am so very happy that you toke the advice of the fella who replied to your thread and really had a two way discussion (well almost

) with the bf. I congratulate you on the new addition to your family!

Yorkiekids · 07-15-2008, 07:58 AM

I say go for the pup. You can always get another BF. LOL

LOL!

melmel84 · 07-16-2008, 05:47 AM

UPDATE --Once again

So apparently there won't be any puppy making after all. The woman could not get her little one in to the vet in time to get her cleared for brucellous and cytology

, so there won't be any breeding with this little one until her next heat =(

Thank you all for your opinions on the matter. I definately would have went for the puppy! Thank YT Talkers!
