I guess i have one of each cause London is really lazy and spoiled and Sophie is in between lol She can get very hyper too tho when she wants

Yeah, Lacy's really in between. Most of the time she's really calm and lazy a lot of the time. She sleeps a lot too. But then she'll have her really hyper moments. It's like two different dogs. I love it

Just wanted to post this question again since it hasn't been answered

I do have a question because you haven't really addressed this other than to say your boyfriend was okay with it after you got him. Knowing your boyfriend did not like dogs in the house and was not a "dog person", and you yourself not being a "dog person", what made you even get Cocoa in the first place? Was he an impulsive buy? I just can't imagine you thinking it through before buying him and then deciding to get him knowing you want to marry someone who doesn't want dogs. Did you talk to your boyfriend about buying a dog before you got him? Or did you just go out and buy him without consulting your "future husband"?

I'm not asking you to defend yourself...just actually curious about why you got him

I'm sorry I asked for help in the past if it offended you but, I have never owned a Yorkie before and yes I was very overwhelmed. I have been researching alot and have tried different techniques and am very satisfied with how well Cocoa is doing. I know that all of his "problems" were my fault and that is why I asked for help. I know a lot of people are very knowledgable on here and were very helpful.

I didn't answer your question because anything and everything I say is the wrong thing to you and am tired of being belittled. I got Cocoa in the first place because I have always loved the Yorkie breed and found one I could actually afford. Kevin was not completely thrilled but, was fine with it. I do admit I didn't do all of the research I should have regarding training before I got him.

No one is belittling you. Just giving advise, opinions, and their own experience.

Several times you and others have said I don't take care of my babies like they should be and I consider that belittling. Most of us are all strangers here and know nothing about how each other's dogs are taken care of. Mine are taken care of very well.

No one ever said your dogs aren't being well taken care of. We're just worried about what will happen to the dogs once you get married...if they'll stay with you and still be spoiled and well taken care of, if they'll stay with you but be put on the backburner, or if they'll be rehomed...that's all. No one said you didn't take care of your dogs now.

Oh ok....let's try to settle this and quit getting at one another's throats. Like I've tried to say several times I'm not getting rid of them and didn't say I was. I was just stating the options I do have. I couldn't bare parting with either one of them. Why do you think I was trying to sell him and now I'm not. I even had some offers to buy him and didn't accept. I just can't do that to him. (Him as in Cocoa). They will always be well taken care of and spoiled. What I was saying about my mom keeping them was IF and I repeat IF I had to get rid of them later down the road then she would take them in (along with my sister). I know they would be well taken care of and they love my mom and sister (ALMOST as much as me

I know deep down that Kevin would never ask me to get rid of them seriously (he wasn't being completely serious the other night just telling me what he would prefer) he loves me too much to force me to do something that he knows I wouldn't be happy doing. I started this post in hopes that others could relate to my situation and share their stories. Not be judgmental towards me.

From a MAN's point of view,,,,he'll fall in love with them....I wasn't much on dogs being in the house, but I like to keep the MRS happy and I gave in. And I'm betting he'll wanna do whatever it take to keep you happy too!!!!

I just found this thread. I was wondering how you resolved this dilemma?

I am getting a new puppy in a few weeks and my boyfriend said it was a great idea. I suppose I may have thought differently about it if it was going to be an issue and cause friction with us ...

but your question is a loaded one, because no one has an exact situation as yours. (Perhaps in a parallel universe???) and you do not seem to welcome suggestions or criticism.

Seems your mind is made up... you WILL have dogs whether or not your boyfriend says yes, and you WILL do what you want (and that just may turn out to be rehoming the Yorkie because you are having problems training him properly) and eventually you will be a martyr and make your boyfriend into the bad guy you had to give in to.....

does not appear to make for a great relationship.

I guess we all do what we have to (or simply want to) ...
good luck!
