Okay guys,
I've never had a pet, not even as a kid. I like animals okay, but I've never really wanted one. But I've been living by myself for over a year and from time to time I've thought that maybe I would like a dog. Well, last week, my boyfriend was in town and we went to a pet store (he LOVES animals) and there was a yorkie (I'll explain the significance in a minute), he was soooooo cute!!! Well, that night I came home and there was a baby chihuahua by my door!!! He was soooo cute. So I kept him that night (it was too late to find his owner) and I fell in love with him. I even let him sleep in my bed (for someone who's never had a pet, this is HUGE). The next day I found his owner, but I must admit that a part of me was hoping I wouldn't. I was sad giving him up. So now I've been thinking about gettind a dog.
Well, when i was a kid, I always wanted a yorkshire terrier. My godmother had one and I LOVED her. I used to beg and beg, but my mom doesn't like dogs so I never got one. I've always said that if I got a dog, it'd be a yorkie. I've been begging my boyfriend to get one for over a year so I could come visit it. He won't because he says they aren't manly enough for him
So, now I'm thinking about getting a yorkie...but I want to know if they are okay being alone all day (while I'm at school and work). Also are they hard to house break? Do they cost a lot to keep up (once you have them)? Where can I find one that doesn't cost $1200+????? Are there other little dogs that are relatively low maintenance and good for someone who's never had a dog?
