Are Two Better Than One??? Is Yorkie Mommyhood easier or more difficult w/two, rather than one? I know the vet expense is doubled, and the food bill (especially if you feed raw) and double brushing and bathing and combing, when you're not paying the double grooming bill, but how 'bout in general? Is it more difficult to walk two? Do they really play w/each other more than playing by themself? Do you think your pairs or treos or quadruples like their worlds better because of their brothers and or sisters, or do you think they would just prefer to be only furkids? |
I can only speak for myself, but my two get along great together. They play with each other, sleep together on the same bed and I don't know what I would do without both of them. Jada was an only furbutt for just about 3 months and DH was the one who wanted to get her a sibling. I couldn't believe it, because he wasn't sure about getting a small dog when I told him about Jada. We just love having two. They are so much fun. |

The more the marrier to me! LOL I think boy/girl plays together more and get along great. Well my 2 boys get along great too and play like crazy. I do have problems with girl/girl. They tend more to fight. |
I think it depends on the dog. Some might prefer to be 'onlies'; and others would love a playmate. Ringo does well with Lucy - but probably would have been just as happy doing his own thing. Don't think you are going to feel less guility going off to work - at first - when your new dog is still a puppy. That was my plan too and I feel guiltier than ever! Double the guilt! However, I think when Lucy is older and I don't have to crate her so much when I am gone . . . they will be good company for each other. Then I plan on feeling less guilty! That's my two cents. Just added Lucy about a month ago. |
I Fink 2 Is Better. i Av A little Boy.. I Feel So Evil Leavin Him For Work... I Cant Wait To Get A Little Brother Or Sister For Him... XXX |
There's no way for me to get another one :( 1st, I live in an apartment, 2nd, Sugar doesn't even allow me to hug my niece, jealousy... ;) |
Pros and Cons.....But the Pros out weigh the Cons....;) |
I got my female in May, she was 13 weeks old and my husband told me she needed a friend so I got a male in June and he was 12 weeks old. It was the best thing I could have done. They love each other and play ,sleep and eat together. They are never alone so even though I hate to leave them at least they are together. I am thinking about maybe getting a 3rd one, but I would hate to mess up a good thing. |
I have 6 and I would have more if my house was bigger! hhhmmm LOL |
Got the 2nd one on Saturday and I am happy with the decision. Chloe and Dylan are happy to be together. :) |
I have been really wanting to get Reese a playmate, but I would get another girl. I just couldn't imagine sharing my love though. |
I'm just waiting for my 2nd baby girl to come home. I know that Missy will love her to bits. If I could, I would have 20 :p |
Yeah, sometimes (bath time) I wish I just had the one, but they get along and play and sleep together and it's so much fun to watch them play/fight together. Moses and Isabel are such different personalities. Moses is so attached to me that I think he would have to be medicated for anxiety if he was left alone, but with Izzy, he has a companion and he is fine. Now, Izzy could probably do without Mosey, but that's another story! |
Since you are already ok with 2x expenses and grooming time, I think getting a second yorkie is a great idea. They look so happy when they play together and it's so much fun to watch them too!!! Make the walk more fun too!! I love to walk in a trail with my dogs walking freely around me. :) |
