I keep going back and forth in my head on whether or not to get a 2nd yorkie... for those that have two, what was your reason??

neersyorkies · 09-28-2006, 03:08 PM

They are twice as much fun plus it gives your other yorkie a friend to play with if you are not at home.I got five you know how much fun they are.LOL

daisy mae06 · 09-28-2006, 03:09 PM

Because my mom says Here I have a lil girl for you to love and kiss. And she just gave her to me from her last litter. I love my two and I love the different little things they do. They are both the sweetest

Who needs a reason? LOL
Cause two yorkies are twice as much fun .
Because they play so cute together.
Because they won't be so clingy, unless of course you like clingy.
Cause they are just so darned cute together.
Cause you get twice as much attention when you take them to PetCo/Petsmart.
Cause you don't feel so guilty when you leave them home alone.

The reasons are endless.

I just got my 2nd two and a half week ago. Had been thinking about getting a 2nd one, but hadn't really decided and then Carley kinda fell into my lap. I wanted another for Cooper to play with. He wanted to play all the time and sometimes I just couldn't. Also, I only work 10 hours a week, but hate to leave him by himself, that was another reason. I just kind of thought it would be good for him to have another dog...and I was right...it was. The first couple of days were a little rocky, but after that they have gotten along really well, and I really think it was a great thing for him. He loves to play with her and another good side effect is that he is eating better. He was so picky...I went from food to food with him...but she is a good eater and he has started to be one too, just because she eats so well. That is a huge bonus for me. I won't kid you, it is more work, but it is so worth it and every day that goes by, she fits right in with us and I think in just another couple weeks it won't seem like extra work, just like it always was. Good luck with whatever you decide

The best reason of all? Love. I just can't get enough of yorkies. I'm working on getting a third.

We got a second because we wanted Hobbs to have a friend / playmate, twice the fun, twice the love, twice the yorkie kisses, twice the joy. I love having 2. I will always have 2 of whatever breed of dog I ever have. I have just loved seeing how much fun they have together. They are really best friends and really keep each other company. We want to get a labrador and we will definately have 2 labradors, too. Things are better in pairs.

RMKC · 09-28-2006, 07:17 PM

Just love my Rosi, and she seemed lonely for another dog to play with, so i got Poli for her, and me too of course, what a playful cuddlebug ! And Rosi is eating better too since he has been home.

sweetr72 · 09-28-2006, 07:37 PM

Cause you CANT have just one!!?? What fun would THAT be lol...I love the fact that they are lap dogs and it would take at least 3 to fill this lap of mine up...so I may be needing one more hehe..

Rae Rae · 09-28-2006, 07:38 PM

Were going to be getting another dog because my bf wants his "own" dog (Rocky is more attached to me) and because Rocky needs a friend. It's gotten so bad that Rocky wants me to play with him the way he plays with other dogs; chasing eachother, standing still then running after eachother again. LOL

yorkiewannabe · 09-28-2006, 07:50 PM

Soon after I got Lily, I started thinking about having a second puppy. I returned to work in August (school district) and wanted a playmate for her when I returned to work. So , we got Roscoe in July. I'm so glad we did!!They are the best buddies. I agree that you can't have just one!! We've had other dog breeds and we have usually had 2 dogs at one time. Gives them someone to romp with and hang with all the time! I love both of my Yorkies so, and they each have their own unique personalities to love!!

Bnot · 09-28-2006, 07:56 PM

For the last year or so, everytime I'd go to my baby sisters house I'd take Adonis. He adores her 3 big dogs, and really has a blast down there! I'd played with the idea of getting another for awhile, and just went ahead and did it.

He loves Venus, and they have a blast playing together! He's been my one and only for 5 years. I love watching him play with her, something I only seen him do when he's down at my sisters. Before Venus the last couple of years, he'd go outside, do his business, and come straight back in. He seems to be so much happier with someone to chase him now!

When I saw him run around the back yard like he'd lapped up some gasoline or something, trying to get her to chase him, I knew I made the right decision! Really has brought more life to him at home now! I'd only seen him this happy down at my sisters playing with her dogs. Now he has a playmate at home!

i got my second mainly because ceeby was so lonesome and every time I left the room or quit playing with him, he cried. I also had been wanting to get into breeding at somee point so when I ran upon a reasonable priced femalee a couple of months after I bought ceeby, i got her. Now I have six. i have purchased all of them since september last year.
