What were your reasons for getting a 2nd??

[magnolia]

We rescued Gage from a suspected abusive home - it was either we keep him and love him or find him a loving home - we kept him. We had no plans to get a second one although I had begun talking about wanting one - God placed me in a situation where I heard about Gage and He opened the door to make getting him a reality! I've never regretted giving him a loving home and hubby hasn't either.

You can NEVER have just one! Sadie is my first Yorkie...I absolutely fell in love with the breed once I had her...I told my husband that she needed a playmate...that's my story and I'm sticking with it! LOL

PUPPY KISSES!!! I'm so glad that my dogs have each other. They play together, sleep together and do EVERYTHING together!! They love each other so much it's just crazy!!

We got our second Marilynn for many reasons. Some being:
A 22lb "Mad at the World" Siamese and a 5lb Yorkie don't "play" the same way.
We wanted to balance out our family with a little girl.
I wanted a baby girl to dress up in pink with bows and ribbons.
Melvin needed a playmate.
We originally wanted a girl.
She just fell into our laps.

But the main number one reason?
Shane got tired of hearing me bitch! Works everytime! And we couldn't be happier with her, she is a perfect little girl. At first, I was a little scared, it's a big step for the whole family, but now I couldn't imagine it without her! Everyone, but the stupid cat loves her to death. However, the cat only loves two things, Shane and her food! So it really wasn't a suprise there!

Ok, Yters, you've convinced me that I need a second!! Now I have another question - how old was your first yorkie when you brought the 2nd one home? Howie is 6 months.. do you think that's too young??

Because I wanted one...

Oh no, I think Melvin would be a little more adjusted if we had done that! He was about a year old when we got Marilynn. Sadly he was so spoiled from being the only dog for so long he was getting a little "big for his britches", he still is. At least now she checks him in place, just like a good girl should!

My sister and I are roommate and decided that we needed a little one to keep us company!! After a few weeks we decided she needed a friend to keep her company. Unbeknown to my roommate I looked up breeders and a few more weeks I snuck my Kylie in. They love each other and now I can't imagine not having two. One day I will add to my furfamily but for now at 10 months and 11 months this is all I can handle

[Winston's Mom]

Well, I've always wanted a live baby doll to dress up. When we got Winston, he lets me put shirt/sweaters and stuff on him but won't let me put a topknot on him. My husband wanted his own puppy. Winston really need a playmate. And all the folks here at YT thought it was a lovely idea. (it is!!!)

Life is so much fun with 2 furbabies.

My heart and my house will always be open to take care of the little ones .

[skingstone]

we got a second 3 weeks ago. It was a playmate for snickers, since he loves other dogs on the street. I also wanted a little girl. It took about two weeks for snickers to play with the new little girl. Its better now.

Two reasons, one for me, one for Eddie:

I would be devastated if I ever lost him. I wanted to have a second to help me get through the grief should that ever happen.

What tipped the scale was when our live-in dogsitter moved out (a good thing). I wanted Eddie to have company for the 5 hours he's alone most days. So really, Jack is Eddie's dog.

LOL, that is the joke around here. When we got our 2nd, Carley (3 weeks ago) all of our friends said "Oh, you got Cooper his own pet". All of our friends think we are crazy for Cooper, which we are. Of course, they all call and want to see him too, and I get constant reminders if I don't update his blog on a timely basis. My husband takes him into work sometimes, and if it has been too long, they all remind him they need "Cooper time". These little babies wiggle their way into Everyone's hearts.

I don't know about ya'll, but just hanging around Yorkie Talk makes you want another one!
