I think you're taking some positive steps in the right direction. However, before you decide to get a second dog, think about it for awhile first. Remember, you weren't crazy about the idea of getting the first one. And, you seem concerned about keeping costs down. Don't forget that with two dogs, you will have double vet bills, along with double the food and peepads, double the work, etc. etc.

I also have beds, toys, piddle pads and water for them and instead of a radio, I leave the TV on for them.

ha, we sure think alike again Corinne. I too have them both on the laundry. . .in my case they cannot be together as with the 2 of them - it is chaos when I come home

. Oh I do go home for lunch though . . .And an old TV is on too . . . although most of the time they just are in their crates sleeping . . .

Ain't that the truth! I have two puppies too and even if they are small, the vet bills are still there. Double the shots, check-ups, spay/neuture and it adds up quick. Two bills for basic training. Food is the least of my worries since they don't eat much (thank goodness for little tummies!).

On the other hand, I love to see the fun they have with one another and the bond they have.

I have a feeling Nodak has fallen under Tanner's spell and his heart was stolen by those little paws and kisses!

I just have one, but we're planning on another one soon, and I'm really looking forward to watching them bond and having fun together!

I think you're right about him falling under little Tanner's spell....who can resist those yorkie kisses and little paws? They have a way of stealing your heart.

Just curious why NODAK has been suspended??

kodibear · 06-22-2007, 05:35 PM

i was wondering the same thing... unless there's a rule about making a bunch of people angry with you

i just figured it wasn't any of my business as a n00b...

MyFairLacy · 06-22-2007, 05:50 PM

Yeah...I'm wondering too. Another YTer called me at work today to tell me he had been suspended but didn't know either. I just read through most of the threads going on today and didn't see anything bad. I know most of us aren't happy with him and he in turn isn't always too happy with us..but I haven't seen anything he's done that would cause him to be suspended. Maybe a PM to someone? Just wondering if anyone knew the story

Oh...obviously I'm a curious person LOL...can anyone say what it was about? Not looking for anyone to completely repeat what was said - just want an idea of what it was about.
