Benefits of siblings

[celstu1]

I have 2 boys and they are liter mates. Ive had them since they were 9 weeks old. They do well together and I am so glad I got them both. I keep them gated into the kitchen together when I'm at work. Im sure they love having each other than being alone and they definitely do keep each other out of trouble! But as for entertaining each other when you are around? Maybe not! LOL I just have 2 bellies to rub, 2 to play with... when I am home they want ME, not each other!

I put on a radio for them when Im not home when I lived alone and in a townhouse and the radio drowned out the outdoor noise and helped them to stop barking so much!

Do it... you won't regret it!!!

I would do a pro-con list and put some serious thought into it. So far, for me the answer is so not ready for a 2nd, even though Teddy Boo is calling me name. I mean look at this little face and tell me you couldn't say no.http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...me-person.html I must ignore what my heart wants for now.

I just had to echo your sentiments...TeddyBoo does have a face that will call many and we're still on the search for that special "one" to be his match...lol

Actually...this may be a first on the YTGE but, my lil' rescue foster boy, TeddyBoo will be signing up to participate! It's probably going to be the first he's ever received a package in the mail, let alone had a SecretBuddy of his very own...can't wait!

I have a 5 month old boy Jax that I have had for 3 months and 3 days ago I got a 6 month old girl. I was nervous like you and went back and forth with it until I found the perfect girl for him. I am glad I did it (of course its only been 3 days) Jax is already doing things that he has never done before like walking up stairs and getting on the couch alone. He is eating way more because he doesn't want Molly to have any! He is also using the bathroom outside instead of his puppy pads. But most of all he is so happy. He has been a bit jealous with my attention but not anything out of the ordinary. They wrestle all the time and I am happy he is happy. I actually got her for him instead of myself because I hate for him to be alone during the day. I say go for it! If you can afford her then do it. Your Oliver will be so happy!
