A male and a female is all I wanted to begin with, but the little girl I got had a lot of troubles as she grew. She had very bad luxating patellas and had surgery at about 4 months. Then she was spayed shortly after that. Then my grandson fell on her and broke her neck. She had a very expensive surgery to correct that. She was doing very well, although she never moved correctly after that. Then last September she suddenly had heart failure. The medication seamed to work for about a week. Then all of a sudden she got really bad. I had to rush her to the vet. No matter what they did it didn't help. She became non-responsive and there was nothing I could do except put her down. She wasn't even 2 years old. She weighed less thaan 4 1/2 lbs.

In the meantime, between the time I got Lucy and the time she died, I decided to breed Yorkies and got 2 more females that were 5 and 6 lbs. After my sweet Lucy died, I gave up on everything and decided to move into an apartment. I could only take 2 dogs and I knew I would want to take them everywhere I could. So, because I have a REALLY bad back, I wanted to keep the 2 smallest. If I had still had Lucy, I would have kept her and Caesar, as she weighed just a little over 4 lbs.

Caesar and Hero were the two smallest. I found great homes for Cookie and Ciara. I can see them whenever I want to and they are extremely happy being only dogs. I made sure they were both spayed, so they wouldn't get into a bad situation birthing litter after litter till the day they died.

I am very sorry for the loss of your prescious Lucy. You have been through so much with your Yorkies. But, with the two males marking , I think it is wise to use belly bands or something to prevent them from peeing all over your apartment.
The fire Hydrant is a cool idea. Maybe this is a possibility?

Yes I think I like the fire hydrant, too. I'm going to order one later today.

I did try making one, but they won't go near it. I don't know if the one one drsfosterandsmith will be of more interest to them or not.
