| insurances for them...$20.00 for each of them...treats...add them all up and they could be expensive...but I scrimped on other non necessary shopping that I used to do...so that hubby won't complain...but he loves them too anyway...in other words ...we get by...and I really am dying to get another puppy...but i really don't know if I should get another yorkie... |

| insurance, vet bills, food, supplies are not a problem at all with me. that isn't my concern. im more concerned about people with their experiences with 3 of these beautiful animals together. is it hard at first? will i get used to it, will i always want to pull my hair out, will there ever be a good moment we can all relax and have fun?.. stuff like that.. people's experiences. |

| insurances for them...$20.00 for each of them...all the expenses add up..but I just try to scrimp on other things...like the unnecessary shopping that I used to do before...so that hubby won't complain...he loves them anyway...so...I really am thinking of getting another one...but the price of another yorkie could be to expensive...since some breeders are asking so much for them...maybe I would get another breed... |

| I have 5 Yorkies and haven't had a problem with them blending. Pirogue is my first and Lady was almost 6mo when we got her the next month. They got along wonderfully. Pirogue was 4 mos when we got Autumn, Lady was about 8 1/2mos. Lady and Pirogue were the very best of friends. Autumn had to squeeze her way in and when Lady got pg she lost interest in playing with Pirogue so he and Autumn have taken up where Lady left off. Then a little bit more than a month ago we got Mr. Big and Lacijo. Mr. Big was 12wks and Lacijo was 5 1/2 mos. Pirogue is 9.8#, Lady was 6.2# before she got pg, Autumn weighed 5.6 last week and while Mr. Big and Lacijo are about the same size there's not a # difference. They both weigh about 3#. Autumn is all interested in Lady's baby, she want puppies sooooo bad, so she doen't play with Pirogue so much right now. But Mr. Big wants to play with Pirogue. He just doesn't realize he's only 1/3 Pirogue's size. He gets hurt and I have to yell at Pirogue not to hurt my baby boy. They both stop and look at me like "What do you WANT?" and go back to playing. Now when Lady and Autumn go to playing you would swear that they were killing each other, all the vicious growling!! I have stopped them repeatedly because of the sound but I have never found any marks, sores or blood. I have been letting them do their own thing more lately. It is scarey but like I said I can't find any injuries. I say, if you can afford it - go for it!!! Do be aware however of the little imps hiding and not answering. I was called home a couple of days ago by a phone call saying Mr. Big was missing. The kids had left the door open and he was gone. There are 6 adults in our household and we were all out looking for him, come to find out he had been asleep under my son's bunk bed. Ooooooohhh, I could have killed the little sweetheart. One thing I learned out of this is that the next time someone says one of my babies are missing, I will check the house myself, I won't take anyone else's assurances that he/she isn't here. |

| I just got my third yorkie, Polly a week ago. Call me crazy I have four dogs. Lucky, chow-mix, 15 years old, Maddie, 2 years 3 months, Rudy, 1 year 6 months and Polly, 13 weeks. I am very lucky they all got along from the day I brought them home. I think they get along so well is that they have never been the only dog. They only problem I have is trying to keep the older dogs from eating the puppy food and Polly from wanting to eat the big dog food. It's just me and my furbabies. I have three females and Rudy, he is out numbered 3 to 1. I am lucky my Vet lets me keep a running bill, and my furbabies have been healthy. Thing about having small dogs is they don't eat a lot, I have friend that have large dogs and they go through there 20 lb bag of dog good faster than I do. With all my furbabies I am never alone, right now as I type they are all in the room with me, every where I look there is on. My two older yorkies have such different personalities, since I got Polly, Rudy has got a new best friend, they love to play together, he stays right by her when they go outside, Maddie is more laid back and nothing bothers her. Lucky has never had any other breed of dog as a brother or sister. I first Yorkie Max passed away a few years ago, hea had a great life, he lived to be 17years old and Lucky was so sad. Now she is like a new dog with all the yorkies. She always looks back to make sure they are going outside with her. I have rambled enough about my furbabies. There is never enough a dull monent in my house, but I wouldn't have it any other way

| I have 3 and I was in the same dilemma as you when I wanted to add the third. I was so apprehensive, but my friends helped me out with all their advice, same as your getting, go for it! Well, not a day has gone by the I have regretted it. I love them all and am maybe thinking about a 4th! The only problem for us is we go camping in our motorhome and I've yet to take all three, I think that's when it might get a little hectic. They don't want to go out without each other. But we'll see Don't rush into taking any puppy, there will be "THE ONE" waiting for you somewhere, get what you really want. Start looking and I bet within 2 weeks you'll find the right one...Theresa & The Boys |
