How did you convince your significant other - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

mizzwanned · 06-05-2009, 04:02 PM

Oh BOY tough question lol Ummm let's see...when i first got Teddy i didn't even ask him, my bf came to my house and i said 'Hey look what i got!' LOL But of course he fell in love anyway. Then 3 mos later i wanted a girl so i looked online, found London and had her shipped to me...again i said 'Hey...meet our baby girl!!' LOL He fell in love with her too. And finally i wanted another girl when I spotted Sophie, now that was unexpected but i loved her look. Well low and behold i got her too but he ended up buying her for me! Of course, he fell in love too with her and that is how we got 3. And soon after he was saying how he wanted another boy to even it out. I think it was easy to convince him since he never had a dog before and always wanted one, so now that he knows what its like he loves it, he is such a dog person cause of me

But in answer to your ques. i don't ask him, i just do things spontaneously lol But then again we dont yet live together so i can do what i want

But i know he will always accept cause he can't resist their precious faces. That little girl you want to get is adorable and it sounds like she will get along with your baby

Good luck!

LMAO i agree with this! too funny, except i cant say that cause i live in a building

But yes it is easier to get forgiveness when you put the cute puppy in front of your face while doing it, then to ask for permission lol

They are around the same age, weight, and have similar personalities. Of course I would have them meet each other beforehand to make sure they get along. My boyfriend feels like one is enough since we have a lot going on... he was the exact same way before we got Chase and BF absolutely ADORES him now

She is beautiful!

I think it should be easy to have him agree to a 2nd one, when you get to 4+ it might be harder

I have no advice because I get my way easily when it comes to just about anything. I hope your able to bring that precious baby girl home

I would tell him 2 is great. They play a lot and look so cute snuggled up and besides this cutie needs a loving home! Luckily my DH will let me have as many as I want. He gave me the money for Pixie and Roxie.

erickajm · 06-05-2009, 07:56 PM

I tend to bring up the subject of a real baby.. over and over and over and over and over... he is better suited with me having yorkies rather than starting over with a child. What? ~ it works every time!

yoon714 · 06-05-2009, 08:02 PM

My first and only one, i received her from my fiance cause I used to have a chihuahua that passed away from old age. Everytime i see a chihuahua I would tear and cry. My fiance felt so bad, he took me to the breeder and told me to chose one. I was so surprised and overwhelmed. I did not want another dog after Juna(my teacup chihuahua) and as soon as a I Mimi and held her, I fell in love =). he used all his Bush stimulus check on me lmao

yoon714 · 06-05-2009, 08:05 PM

of course he wants me to have another yorkie around Mimi's weight and size. Hopefully soon =D

sganow · 06-06-2009, 07:00 AM

I just kept sending emails with her picture and information about her. I kept saying she's calling to me and she needs us!!! Finally gave in and we went and got her (Maggie). Of course, we already had 4 dogs, and now we have 5. I guess what's one more! ;-)
