We are getting a new little yorkie pup next weekend which I am so excited about!! My fear or worry is that Darla will be jealous, sad or mad. She is our baby. She knows she is spoiled rotten and our pride and joy. Did anyone else feel like me when they were getting their second dog? Did you wonder if you had enough love to share equally with two yorkies? I remember feeling like this when I had my kids and of course I had enough love for them all..but with a new "baby" in the house someone lost mommy time at some point. Darla is on my lap 24/7 and I worry with a new lil guy on my lap she will hate me. I know I know Im being silly but my heart breaks for at the thought of breaking Darlas heart...can anyone relate??

I never had 2 dogs at the same time because I thought I was being disloyal to the one I had. Then I decided that I couldn't live without a Yorkie again any longer so I got Cali. Maya my Pom was 8 years old and always the loner type but I think it has been real good for Maya. She tolerates and borders on liking Cali now a year later. They ride in the stroller together and lay on the floor togther, Maya has become frindlier and wants to be up oon the bed with us during the day. I just showed Maya a lot of attention when I got Cali and I still always per her first when I come home. So it will surprise you how much they will enjoy each other and how much you love them both.
