HAHAHA I laughed at this one because my DH KNOWS to never deny me when I want a yorkie and KNOWS never to tell me to place one if I don't want too because he knows his bags would be packed and me helping him out the door and that "isn't" exaggerating ROFL!

Oh I know what you all mean. I've been wanting to adopt or rescue a Yorkie for months now! It was hard enough to convince my dh to get ONE as well.

To top it all off, my mom lives with us and she has a 13 year old toy poodle. Well, she found another one marked exactly as the one she has now, and got him about 3 weeks ago. I am happy for her, but can't help but feel a bit blindsided since she knew I was actively pursuing adopting another Yorkie!

Now my dh said he is FOR SURE moving out if we bring ANY more animals home! I know he's teasing, but I have to take his feelings into consideration, and that let's me know exactly where he stands....bummer

To the OP, Hooray you're getting another Yorkie!!!! Congrats!!

I'd say let me help you pack darling no problem

LOL

My Husband would never let me bring an animal in the home when he wasnt in agreeance. If I did he would expect me to take it back. He just wants more say in our household than that. A little sexual bartering goes a long way though lol. I was lucky the first yorkie was my idea and he agreed and then it was his idea to get the 2nd

What do yall think? sorry to vent! lol

I would love to get a playmate for Teddi from rescue. DH thinks that we wouldn't have time for both because I am always studying. I keep working it but he's not buying it...Super frustrating!!

Teddi has so much energy and he loves being with other puppies ~ and darn it ~ I want another one!!

Not sure if I'd go that far at this point BUT it definitely would have been a dealbreaker if he told me to choose him or Gizzy when we met!! It defintely would have been ♥Giz♥ over ANY man!!

Same here! I talked with dh before we got Gypsy. I told him my heart had a hole in it for a small dog. He sat aside money when tax refund was due. He never liked dogs in the house. Then I told him I was going to buy him a dog for his birthday. I sd Gypsy needed a pet too. He sd he wanted a chihuahua as he considered it "a redneck dog". He has family members who have them and they are rednecks. I agreed if it was a long hair chi. I saw a pic in paper of a boy and girl. He went on his own to look as he was interested in the boy. He wound up falling in love with the girl so Puff became our 2nd pup. We now have 4 dogs and he has "put his foot down": No more.

Much as I love him my dh would pitch a hissy if I asked for another dog right now. I have been working on him lately though cause I want a little calico kitten!!!! (Jodi, he's weakening big time!)

Here are a few things I have considered when I have thought about getting another one.

1. Just walk in and put the puppy in his lap and let the puppy convince him to let him stay. (It worked for Gracie!)

2. Get the puppy and roll it around in dirt and mud. Then bring it home. "Look what I found wandering around on that busy old highway. I saved it's life, poor little thing."

3. "I had to rescue him/her! He/she was being carried around by the tail by a two-year old!" or "No one was adopting him/her from the shelter! Poor little thing - he/she was so sad and wanted a home sooooo badly!"

4. Keep showing him baby pictures of the yorkie(s) you have now. my dh's heart melts every time he sees Skeeter and Adie's. Heck just keep showing him pictures of any yorkie. (He's hooked - he just doesn't want more dogs in the house right now.)

5. All of our yorkie's behavior problems will go away if he/she had a brother or sister.

Hey, I didn't say any of these were honest! Good luck!

I love this thread

Out of the 5 pets in our house, the only one my dh wanted was the Akita. He didn't want my beagle when we first moved in together but I said "hey I had her before you so deal with it lol". With the 2 cats I did what a few others said - ask for forgiveness instead of permission lol and now he told me the other day that our orange tabby his "his" cat, not mine lol. My Yorkie, it took me two days of begging and cajoling, but in the end he said "You're gonna do whatever you want to anyway so I'm not saying anything about it anymore" - that was permission enough for me

He does like Alice now, he even proudly waked into his mother's house yesterday carrying her and introduced her as "our new baby"
