If you go to San Francisco ........ consider going to Carmel also. (If possible ) city is called the most dog friendly city in California. They have a dog friendly beach & hotels. You can take your baby with you to most places. We ate at a restaurant that lets you take your baby on the patio for dinner also. We were very pleased by how nice they all were.

I just have one, and I love it. He is my travel buddy!! I give alllll my attention to him and he LOVES that! I think some yorkies like to be the "only one"

wow what wonderful responses.
you see the reason I asked the question was that DH has said that if you want another get one. Tia is 18 mths old and my world. although she has lots of play friends I work part time and dont want her to be lonely.I agree with all the reasons you guys have given but my top two would be great travel buddy and such a laid back little girl and I don't want to upset the chemistry.
Oh well , time will tell lol:rolleyes:

I honestly thought this myself...how could I love another as much as Gracie. It is kind of like children though. You love each one of your children. We got our second in December and I love her dearly. No regrets at all. So while I thought I could only have one we have two to love and twice the fun. I think it has been great for Gracie too! Which is a BIG reason I wanted a second so Gracie could have a sister.

I have just the one and I am perfectly content with that. :) Roxie can be high maintenance sometimes, so I don't think I would be able to handle more than one.

same here:D-------and im not sure maddie would share me with another one, She has a hard enough time sharing me with my husband. Its fun with just 1.

Just one Yorkie, Sophie Kate. I am fine with her being the only one since before she came into our life we never had owned a dog (as an adult, growing up I had a dog). I am still learning about all the fun of being a dog owner. Like others have said she is my buddy and goes most places with me.

Freemerryjane 01-31-2010 08:31 AM
you know, they are addictive and to tell the truth before I was given Holly I kinda thought yorkie owners were snooty. lol I know thats awful but at least I am honest. ;)

So I think I will just have 1 for now, but I'm not sure few years down the road, lol!
Yorkies are addictive!!

By the way, since we have all the singles in one thread, can we share tips on keeping them entertained/busy/etc when the humans wear out? At my place, sometimes there isn't enough humans, the cat isn't much fun, the yard isn't fenced, the dog park is 40 minutes away, I'm not real familiar with the neighbors, and I'm running low on hiding places.

Mostly when I stop playing the dog goes to lay down and that really bothers me, but I reject an ongoing guilt trip too because I'm doing all I can to be a dogmother. Is there more to lonely yorkie life than chew toys? There's only so many hours, and the dog wants all of them. Is that just baby stage?

What I have so far:
15 minutes - hiding his toy deep inside a crumpled blanket, or wedging it in a tight spot.
30-45 minutes - He has a favorite teddy which he is trying to mate with, that's his own game, it stays in one of his beds, and he usually knocks himself out after a good romp with her.
30 minutes - I also put his kibbles in those Wacky Squirrels and that'll occupy him for a good half hour.
1-2 hours - (requires supervision) - In fair weather he can amuse himself out in the yard for a good hour or more, rolling his ball down stairs, pouncing it, digging, hunting bugs, hiding biscuits, fooling with a pool of water, except in my case I have to keep constant watch and herd him away from the driveway intermittently.

Along with all the things I do that he can join in, and all the walks and bike rides, play and grooming and training and visits, there's still hours need filling.

friscomom: Would you consider putting this in a new thread. I think it is a wonderful topic for my only child.
By the way, I bought an "Only Child" tank for him last year and it was just the cutest. We think about a second but always decide against it for many of the reasons others have posted. ;)

We have just one, our first Yorkie. Missy is 4 months old. I had to talk my husband into the idea of getting a yorkie. Now I have to compete with him for her attention. When I got her she was "my" dog now she is "our" dog. I am waiting for the day HE says "MY" dog then I will have to get another one for "ME"! But for now we are both very happy with our little girl. She has brought us more enjoyment then we ever imagained.

ellaYORKIE 01-31-2010 02:47 PM
I have just one and for now i am content w/ that. Within the next year i will have another though b/c my sister just got a new male & female yorkie and i get a pup from the liter. I'm so excited to meet them. The best thing about just having one is that all my attention goes to her. She's #1 and she likes it that way. Ella doesn't like other dogs, she's scared of them. When i do get another i really hope it'll work out. =]

ellaYORKIE 01-31-2010 02:50 PM
Agreed, i can't imagine ever loving another like i love Ella, or as much as i love her! It doesn't sound weird at all. =]

I have just on lil furbaby Timba and I love this lil guy to death do us part.... He gets the most attention from me all day and nite... I would love to get another one ,, but then I have to divide my love for two.... we sleep. eat and do everything together .. he is my life.. I live for him...;)

noisinka 02-02-2010 01:27 AM
Sandy is our one and only. He's a very socialised. We thought of getting him a playmate but decided to do that only when he's more than 1 1/2 years old as recommended by our breeder. To be honest, I don't think I'd be able to share my love with another dog. Sandy is exactly I've always wanted and he's very special to me :)

Sorry you had a bad experience with a new pup it must have been a difficult decision to find him a new home. I'm the opposite , I only want/ wanted another for Tia .not for me which probably isn't good enough reason to get one.:animal-pa

mackymom 02-02-2010 11:07 AM
I have two, but both should have been "only yorkies"...because of their constant competition for attention....It just seems that one is not enough tho...:)

pebblesmama 02-02-2010 01:52 PM
I have one, but my daughter has been staying with me - with her yorkie - and I must say one is easier. I like to take Willow with me wherever I go and two are much harder to keep track of. And when I am knitting in the evenings she snuggles in my lap where there is just enough room for her. It's just so easy with one - I'm going to keep it that way.

ziggy925 02-02-2010 06:29 PM
Isn't one enough? :rolleyes:

cindymevers 02-02-2010 06:43 PM
I am content with one. I thought about another one but when I think about house training another one I quickly forget it! I can care well for one. More than one would be a stretch on the budget!

mjharpst 02-02-2010 08:17 PM
We had one... Roxie for several years then my hubby found Ryder and we rescued him and it was the best thing we have ever done! Roxie is my lover girl and I never thought I would love another like I love her but Ryder is the perfect fit in our family. He needed us and I think Roxie needed him there was no awkward adjustment it just worked... Roxie stopped having anxiety when we were gone and loves Ryder! We added Prince this fall and I was worried that he would mess up our two but he also found his place and I wouldnt have it any other way!

Nancy1999 02-02-2010 08:20 PM
Well, I thought I was one of the few that only had one, I guess there are more of us than I thought. I sometimes think of getting another, but more as a pet for Joey, than for me. My two grown sons have dogs that come over weekly and visit with Joey, so he gets some playtime with other dogs. One of the things, I enjoy most with Joey is our training time, and its hard to do that when other dogs are around. I know if I weren't at home as much, I would want another dog for Joey. :D
