| How do I talk him into it? I have a female morkie named Morgan. She is about 17 months old. I love her to death! Well, a guy I work with has 2 male yorkies he is trying to sell. He is on vacation this week so this morning he brought them in for me to see. Oh My Gosh! My yorkie I had before was a male named Toby. He died during surgery and I miss him so. Don't get me wrong Morgan is wonderful but when I saw this puppy I fell in love. He is the cutest little thing! Well, when I called my husband I got a solid NO. We have 2 outside dogs, 1 inside and an inside cat. Financially we can afford all of them plus more. They are almost 12 weeks old and since neither of them are spoken for and they want to sell them they told me they would sell him to me for $400! Since they know he would have a good home and they would get to see him. How do I talk my husband into letting me get him?! Morgan will not leave our cat alone and I think another dog would be wonderful for her. Please give me some suggestions to sway him! |

| Were you going to take both yorkies or just one. I would first think of the yorkies, if you just wanted one, and want them to stay together. Just my thinking.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I would say if you can afford it and you take care of the animals why can't you get him? Is there anything he wants that you could bargin for.

| They originally had 3 but the other one was a female so they were able to sell her with no problem. They aren't trying to keep them together. I'm sure it would be nice if they could but I don't think they are expecting to. I can only take one IF I'm able to talk my husband into that. There is no way he'll let me get 2. |

| Then you beg, plead, and make him feel guilty because he won't ever let you have anything you really want.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | What are you husband's objections? Maybe if you let him express himself, he'll tell you why he doesn't want another. Then we can tell him why his points are valid or not valid. You say you can well afford it, but maybe he doesn't think that. Ladymom posted a link that says long-term cost of owning a dog is upward to $40,000 per pet. The Cost of Owning a Dog

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | The trick that works best for me is to promise he doesn't have to buy me another birthday or Christmas present "ever."

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I'm the type that would buy the puppies and say that I was SAVING them from a fate worst than death and if in a few months hubby still didn't want them we could sell them.....

Although I wouldn't even need that excuse as my husband wants more yorkies anyways! My suggestion would be to make sure your husband is okay with it. I don't like doing things forcefully but thats just me! You know your husband better than us, I hope you can somehow convince him Do keep us updated.... You should also post pics of your morkie, she sounds adorable

| Maybe try the "Even though Morgan is great, since Toby passed..." statement and guilt him into it. Or just bring one home. He'll be mad for awhile, but I'm pretty sure it won't be his first or last time being mad at you for something. And besides, who wouldn't want another little bundle of joy?!

| I would just tell him this is something you really, really want and you want a valid reason for his objection. I would say that "if YOU were wanting something this badly and it wasn't going to hurt anything for you to have it, I would want you to have it, why don't you feel the same for me?" Unless he has some valid objection to getting him, what could he say? I wish you the best of luck. Maybe if you could get him over there to actually see the dog, he might not be able to say no, also.

| And then there were three We went from having NO dogs in the house to having three yorkies!!!! The first one we discussed, the second I begged, and I just came home with the third. I used the argument that I was soooo lonely with the boys grown and out of the house. Now, he loves them as much as I love them. Good luck.... |
