| Hi guys! New member here and I need your help Hey guys! I must say I'm very glad to have found this forum because it can help me a lot! I need your help! I've been trying to convince my parents to let me buy a yorkie for a few months now and with no luck! I've started collecting money from my english tutoring in order to buy it myself and again, no luck. I have to mention that we live in the house with my grandparents who have five dogs. Add to it, that we still have two cats, but my wish for having a dog is really big because I think it can help me a lot. Lately, I've been feeling a bit lonely and again having a doggie could really help me. I tried to explain this to my parents and they got it wrong. I told them that I want to buy it myself for Christmas and still got a NO,because they say that I won't have time to take care of him once I find a job but I don't see this as a big problem. Is it? Maybe I'm wrong. I even told them that one day they will get a surprise in the house. LOL. Anyway, any tips or tricks? I'm really desperate. Thanks guys! |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | As long as you live with your parents and grandparents until you get their permission I am sorry to say but dog ownership for you is going to be delayed. 5 dogs already in the home? That is a lot. Yorkies particularly as young puppies require a lot of attention and time. You are not settled into a job yet - how would you pay for the vet bills? Yorkies are expensive to maintain - especially as they likely will need yearly dentals. That is professional cleaning of their teeth. WWhat would you plan on doing when you are working all day? Do you have the funds to hire a dogwalker - or put your dog in doggy daycare? These are the things you need to think of and plan for. Please don't go against your parents wishes in this regard. I would hate see a Yorkie needing to be re-homed due to a known at home situation.

| Until you get out on your own, I would suggest you try to bond with one of the other five dogs. Teach them some tricks. Take them for walks. Even if they are bonded to your grandparents, dog's hearts are usually big enough to add a new friend easily!
