| DH and his best friend ... My dh and his best friend are telling that if I get another fur kid that Mrs Beasley will grieve herself to death. Any truth to that? Please let me know your thoughts, opinions, and/or experience. Some times they are just messing with me because they know I worry about Mrs. Beasley. She will be 11 in February.

| Well Jan you already know my answer to this! Lol. I think she would adjust. And she HAS been around Sassy! I think you need to do what you think is best for you and Mrs B!

| I think that's a little...excessive, lol. It depends though. How is she when you pay attention to other dogs? I'm assuming you'd want another dog. Growing up, our older dogs always did just fine with younger ones. We never had puppies, but after a week and the novelty wore off, everyone was fine.

| Rhonda I agree with you. I think they gang up on me when I am getting close to trying to adopt.

| Stand your ground. When Rosie was there the other day she wasn't aggressive toward Rosie. I think she would be fine. Remember Rosie ran all over your house. Haha. Even your bedroom! I really think she would adjust. I think they are trying to talk you out of it and using Mrs B as the excuse! Just do it. Tell them about it AFTER the fact!

I have always been a one pet at a time kinda person. But Yorkies are different, they capture your heart unlike any other. I want another one. Mrs. Beasley wants all of my attention. But she fusses and then settles down around dh's bloodhound. She s the same way around my son and daughter in law's yorkie.

| I think some dogs are simply meant to be only dogs and not necessarily because of aggression. Callie loves my moms dog Sammy but at the end of the day she is ready for him to go home and have everything to herself. I don't know if I can explain it well but I know she is happier an only dog. She is so very attached to me that I think it would hurt her for me to give attention all the time to another dog and love them as much as I do her.

| Just had a thought ... I wonder if this is so hard for me because I had an only child. I wanted more children, but was only able to have one. God blessed me with two step-children later in life. They were one grad ahead and one grade behind my daughter.

| Yes I am going to fill out an adoption application. I have had my eye on her for a while and she is still available.

| Be sure and ask how she does around other dogs. Remember, my two adoptions never worked because of that reason.

| Based on her bio, they want her to be adopted with another girl. I will be sure to ask. I am concerned because they require a home visit and they are about 6 hours away. But with vet records, grooming records, and references, they might be able to make arrangements for a local rescue group to visit instead.
