| Do you think this is fair? So, I am getting my very first yorkie baby next week, the puppy will actually be my birthday present which is on Wednesday the 6th and that is the day I am getting him. Well the deal was that my boyfriend paid half of the puppy and I paid the other half, which is making it my birthday present from him. BUT he said that since he is "letting" me get the dog that he gets to name him and I cant dress him up in any clothes whatsoever!!! That really isnt a problem, but I am the one that is going to be taking care of him, so I think that I should be able to do what I choose....Do you think this is fair. I mean it is MY birthday present......

| Tell him that since your "letting" him go out with you he's not allowed to tell you what to do! ... well, maybe after he pays his half haha, he might not like that very much!

| No I don't think he's being fair love. It's your birthday present. You must insist on the clothes. If only hoodies in winter. Yorkies have no undercoats like other dogs so need these. Tell him he wouldn't want your furbaby to get cold. (He'll probably fall madly in love with your little one and let you get anything anyway.) Also put the names you like on stickers all over your place. It could brainwash him in to picking one of those. Anything he picks say Arghhhhhhhhh!!! No you couldn't call a Yorkie that. lol. Good luck love. Hugs Shirl x x

| Do what you want when you get him. "letting you get the dog", maybe you need to wonder about this before you take any further steps with the boyfriend. My husband didn't want me to have one due to us moving around a lot, he was in a special op unit and did not want us to deal with heartbreak if we had to move and could not take him with us. But now we are staying put here in KY so he agreed now was the time for us to have one. Maybe you need to ask him (boyfriend) how long he plans to stick around since he is the boyfriend. |

Oh yeah the sticker idea is a good one! Yes I know that as soon as I put that little Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey on the little one, my honey will melt! Good ideas by everyone!

| My dh NEVER tells me what to do. We discuss things. Things like that only get worse if you tie the knot. My dd has learned the hard way and has finally started connecting with young men who respect her wishes and decisions. Good luck in the future, my dear. Joanne

| That would be heartbreaking for me. It wouldnt really feel like a present. If my husband told me that about my sweetie, I would just tell him 'Thats what you think!'.

| tell him if its YOUR birthday present then its YOUR dog. look my boyfriend and i had a deal.. he paid for it n i paid the vet bills (shuda been the other way around lol) anyway... everybody knows that Abby is MINEEEEEEEEEE. He always tells ppl that its his cuz he's on the contract from the store. but i dont really care, she's mine and i do watever i want with her. if u are the one thats goin to be lookin after the baby n feedin n bathing, then by all means its urs. i dont think its right for him to be setting up guidelines n stuff. believe me he will love the clothes for them once he sees them on. good luck |

| I would let him pay for his part however he would have no say in how I cared for him. Make sure when you register him you put the baby in your name ONLY and then you can put the name you want on the papers. Men sometimes, they think they have to control everything.

| Okay well I guess I should clairify the whole him "letting" me get the dog. He knows that a yorkie is my dream pet, and it is all that I talk about on a daily basis! Well he went and bought this really nice fancy sports car and then realized that it wasnt such a smart purchase since it is a two door and if their are kids in our future it would be a hassle. So he said that when he sells the car that we could get the dog. Well he sold the car and was still hesitate. He gave the speech about how big of a responsibility a puppy is and all of this stuff that I already know! So he said you do the research and find a puppy and then we will go from there. So that is where we are. I found my puppy and the puppy is paid for, half by me and half by him. And these other guidelines flew into the picture, about him naming him and no clothes!

| I hate when guys throw that kind of attitude around. If this is YOUR gift then you do what YOU want too with it. Secondly, no man is going to "let" or not "let" me do anything. I'm a grown woman and I make my own decisions. |
