how long did it take to get a 2nd baby - YorkieTalk.com Forums

JERSEY BOY · 09-27-2009, 09:31 AM

Hi everyone,
I've had Jersey for almost 5 months now (he's almost 8 mos) and I enjoy love him so much. I have been considering getting a 2nd baby (i look all the time) . Im making myself crazy, evertime I read a post that someone got a new baby, It makes me want one more!!! How long did it take the Moms and Dads of multiples to get their 2nd or 3rd?

Have not gotten a second one yet. I'd love another but I already have a second dog and the city limit is 2 here.

How do your 2 get along? What type of dog is the 2nd?

My other dog is larger, it's a Bull terrier ( Not a pitbull! ) They are the same age and they get along well. My Bull terrier really doesn't pay too much attention to her however she does enjoy annoying Lola if Lola is cuddling mommy, she will come over and lay her head on me to get Lola going which in return gets Lola growling and barking at her like " BACK OFF THATS MY MOM " lol Besides that they really don't bother with each other or anything. I 'd love to have another yorkie, perhaps one day I can get another one for Lola to have a friend.

Tia is 15 months and I'm still resisting lol I keep telling myself its so much easier to travel around with one and easier to pick one up if a nasty dog approaches but she also has lots of playmates ,of one which she sees daily .

We got Franklin in January of last year and then got Maggie in May so 5-6 months? If we didn't have our surrogate third dog (my roommates Chihuahua), we'd already have another one! It's SO true when they say Yorkies are like potato chips! You really can't have just one.

We purchased Seymour 8 months after we got Shelby (who was 12 weeks old when we got her). Seymour was 16 weeks old when we got him.

Jersey has 2 playmates that live behind us a Brussels griffon and an affenpicher ( spelling on both?) they are great friends and really enjoy playing with each other it really is amazing. The down side is his 2 friends will be moving next summer so I thought if he has his own buddy it will be easier on him. My DH is fine with my kids think I am insane!!

Bailey is almost 3 and we just got her a little sister that we pick up on Wednesday so It took us almost 3 years.
Within 3 months of having Bailey we wanted another though, we have been looking for about that long. It just takes a while to find just the right one and we finally did!

I got Toby in May, he is now 7 months, I am going to get another one in November. My husband has finally gave in!! yay_jump:

A little girl this time. They way it all turned out I think it was fate. I wasnt proactively looking, but heard about the litter and they will be ready exactly when I was thinking would be a good time for us.

Jackson is almost a year old and I would love another one. But then I think how easy it is w/ one when it comes to traveling (which he does w/ me a lot!), and I'm in college and shouldn't give myself too much to handle right now, etc. I'm always looking on petfinder and at new puppies in hopes of seeing "The One" where I go... I need that dog! LOL. Jackson would love a sibling, but right now, I keep telling myself it's best for me to just have one right now. In the (near) future, I'd love to add another boy.

About 11 years between Squirt & Gus. I'm considering #3 now.

bchgirl · 09-27-2009, 12:19 PM

Every time one of mine turned one...another was added to our household.

I got Ted for Christmas, and we fell in love with him so fast that we got Lola just 7 months later!!! Two litters later, and we still can't get enough!
