| Olivias young enough that she really wouldn't be too jealous so if you are planning on getting another yorkie, it should be no problem with her just make sure you spend extra time loving on her. Good luck with your new puppy! Olivia will be so much better for having a playmate

| For me, adding the second was easy as for Lola it took her a week to adjust. Lola has a very "diva" personality but after she adjusted it was great and she loves the companionship. Adding #3..........a bit more difficult but it's what I really wanted and we are all happy

| Crosley was 4 1/2 when we got Wrigley and I was super worried about how she would react. I can remember feeling guilt on the drive home from picking up Wrigley. I thought Crosley would hate us. She didn't even acknowledge her for a day or two. Wrigley was a 12 week old energetic puppy and basically kept bugging her big sister until she had to pay attention! They lay together a lot and Wrigley is stressed if she's not here. It's funny because Crosley is like 17-18lbs and Wrigley is 6lbs, but Wrigley is the boss and tries her best to keep her in line! She's a tattle tale and has a snotty/brattiness about her. Overall it was much easier then I expected! I really do think they like having the company. Two to three was more difficult, but there were a lot of factors in our going from 2 to 3 though.

| We got Nala when Bandit was 2 years old. The first two weeks were a little rough but it was SUCH a great decision. They still have their little personality conflicts but they like playing with each other and cuddling with each other (Nala literally lays ON TOP of Bandit lol). Definitely happy I got a 2nd. |

| I was so worried about getting another yorkie because Bandit is dominantish, but the puppy turned out to be the dominant one in their relationship. She always wins the toy they tug-of-war for, she barks at him if he eats before her (even though her food is out for her), but ANYWHERE else she is SO submissive. She spends the entire time at the dog park on her back lol. It was a very interesting dynamic between them, but it worked itself out |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | When I went from 1 to 2, my other dog was a grumpy older pom. She and Cali (the new yorkie pup) didn't seem to pay any attention to each other and it worked out fine.

| I think there might be a 3 pound size difference in the girls when they are full grown. Does anyone know if this might be an issue? |

| Jackson is like 16lbs now and his best little doggie girlfriend (Nala, posted above) is around 6lbs. They wrestle pretty rough together but she totally stands her own. If he hurts her by accident, she just yelps fast and goes back for more, lol.

| I think Olive is going to be 6lbs and the other pup looks to be about 3 or 4 so I don't think it'll be too bad... |
