A friend of ours bought a beautiful little Yorkie and she is turning out to be more work than they bargained for. Well they offered to let me adopt her if they could visit. Now my job is to convince my husband that we need a third Yorkie. Anyone have any advice on how to convince him????

Tell him that she might end up in a rescue organiztion where you'll never know who gets her and if she has a good life. lol I think so long as you promise to assume responsibility he should be OK.

Surprise him! Who could resist yorkie eyes?

Tell him that your friends have to give their Yorkie up and that you told them you would help find it a good home. Then tell your husband everynight, horror stories of people that wanted the dog...in a couple of weeks then you can tell him you found the perfect home...YOURS

Haha i've been trying to convince my b/f i need 3!!! If anyone figures this out!! I need in on it too!

HisNameIsHarley · 01-23-2006, 08:24 PM

This is just me.. (done this 5 times so far and still counting) just bring her home and suprise him.. Let her cuddle up to him and I bet she'll melt his heart! And no way is three too much! I hope it works out! Keep us updated!

Well, begging always works well! I guess I was lucky, my husband hated little dogs but knew I wanted a Yorkie. He made the mistake of mentioning it to his friends at work (girls) who all thought I should have one. We went to look at a couple (to choose) and chose them both. When we had puppies earlier this year, I just hoped he would love them as much as I did. When he began to learn their names, I knew he was hooked. He was embarrassed to say we had 6 yorkies, but now he is PROUD of his little crew. Now he embarrasses me when I have a friend over and he comes in jumping to the floor for all the little kisses. I guess for me, they sell themselves. Just give him a chance to fall in love! If it's not right, it is for the best, but if your guy is a softee like mine, he just can't resist those precious little angels!

Tell ya what I am going to do. I have Ceeby and now Silk. I am supposed to get the female pick of the litter from my friends yorkie. We haven't discussed it but I know that my hubby thinks that now that we have Silk, we don't need another female. When my new baby is ready to go, I am just gonna go and get her. he will be wild about her. This is the way my son and I got our mini poo. Hubby was dead set against it and we sneaked and got her anyway. He has never complained and totally loves her and all our dogs. Sneaky, yes. But, I know he won't care after she's here. That's just the way she is.. Only problem is he sees my friend more than I do and I'm afraid when she tells him the puppies are born, he will tell her we already have a female. Just my luck. I have gone yorkie crazy. my living room is only 14x16 and I am going to run out of yorkie room. This is where they are gated.

Since you really don t have time to warm him up to the idea fix him hiis favorite dinner and give him some good lovin. Thats the way to a mans heart. I am eventually going to get another one so that will be three for us too. I think that is a good number. I think I am going to get a small one for my third one.
