I would like to get your all's thoughts on this...
 

A little history for you...
My first major baby was a Miniature Schnauzer... His name was Eddie... I had him for 11 years before he developed k9 diabetes and several other problems. I ended up having to have him put down. It was the hardest dang thing I ever had to do...

Well 2 years after I started looking into getting a Yorkie... I always LOVED the breed and I was REALLY missing having a fur baby. That was when I was told about a Shih-Tzu that was for sale I thought I don't want that breed, but I went to look at him anyway... I was REALLY wanting a girl dog but every female in that litter was already chosen. Well the second I saw him I instantly fell in love with him!! He is now 4 years old and he is still my baby, heck both my boys are my babies... In 2008 I adopted Nicky!! I have had him since he was 5 weeks old so he is VERY close and just as much attached to me as I am to him.

Now to my point...
For the last couple of months I have REALLY been wanting that girl fur baby and have been giving it serious thought as to getting a female Yorkie... Am I crazy for wanting another dog? Everyone is telling me that I am nuts to be wanting to get ANOTHER dog!! I KNOW I have enough Love in my heart and the ability to take care of a third dog!! UGH just don't know what to do... What do you all think?!?:confused:

I think if you are able to do it $$ wise and time wise- I would say go for it!

:thumbup::thumbup:

If you have the means to provide for a third then why not. I have 4 and the 4th was an elderly male I inherited. Some days 4 seems a little overwhelming but I know I have enough love and can financially are for them. Good luck in your decision.

I was thinking the same thing! Let us know how it goes! :)

Have your boys been neutered. I think it your boys have been neutered and you have the money to take care of a third one go for it.

Thank you all...
 

Thank you all for your wisdom and thoughts on the matter... I have a lot to ponder weigh both the good and the bad. I might wait. not sure lol... I will keep you all informed on what I do!!:D

My first schnauzer was a male. Max. He passed away also from diabetes. We also had Mandy and she passed a year later from cancer. They were both 13. Then we just had Tina left. Schnauzers have always had a place in my heart. My husband wanted a yorkie so we bought Kayla. Then I wanted another girl and ended up with a boy and love him to death. Then, we got Lexi when Mandy passed and we now have 2 schnauzer, 2 yorkies. They are alot of work but wouldn't trade them for the world. I have 3 babies and an ole' lady. Kayla is 4, Lexi is 3, Dudley is 2 and Tina is 14. You will do fine with 3. More work, but more to love.

I think you will do what is right and right for you at the time!! It never hurts to hold off until you really know!!

To me, deciding to get a dog, or another dog, is like deciding to have another child. It's another commitment to raising a living being well into the teen years. If after thinking about it, go for it. It's your family and no one else should tell you who should or shouldn't be a part of your family :)

You all are so awesome...
 

I just love to come here for advise, because I know you all have everyone's best wishes in mind, weather it is the human parents or the fur babies, and that is just one of the many many reasons why I love this place so very much. Ya'll are wonderful!!

Yea I still have a lot to think about and ponder over!! I love my boys dearly and I know I would love the baby girl just as much but I have to look at it from the financial area too... Maybe next year at this time might be better!! I could start looking into places to adopted a little girl who is in need of a home!! It just breaks my heart to see all the homeless fur babies, Wish people would not take in animals if they never really wanted them in the first place! UGH

If you can afford a little girl you should go ahead and find your baby. I have 2 females and 2 males,Yorkies, they are all spayed and neutered and I have enough time and love for all of them. Good Luck in your decision.

If you can afford the expenses of three dogs and can supply everything she needs then GO FOR IT. I have 4 fir babies and just got my first foster and I would take as many more as I could afford.

I would take another lol dh says we don't need anymore ;) i have to say he is right this time, but i can't tell him that LOL

Never ever tell them there right, You never know :)

There was once a time that I thought having multiple dogs would be fun! I had two medium sized breed dogs at the same time. I loved them dearly and before my adopting of the second I evaluated everything. My finances, time, love, etc. I felt I had everything in order to have multiples. That situation taught me that I'm a one dog household. I couldn't do multiples anymore because of the time, the strain on my relationship at the time, and even the ability to take them with me.

I'm not trying to deter you but it seems you've evaluated your situation and feel that this is something you can and want to do. I think sometimes we get caught up in the enjoyment of pets and optimism about what they can bring to our lives but also have to be very realistic about the small details of adding a new family member. I wish you all the best in your decision. I don't think you're crazy at all for wanting a yorkie girl.:animal36
