i had to do the same thing for my wife, she watned a yorkie, and the money came out of the S parts fund. he turned out to be a great dog. 900 isnt a bad price for a yorkie with good parents. but dont forget, even if she says she will do it, you might also get stuck paying all the additional expenses (they add up) food, shots, grooming, toys, etc, etc. and cleaning up after it as well.

Those dogs are awesome, I used to have one and it was the best dog in the world. We used to call him peewee, hahaha. I don't know why the name was given to him though, excellent dog. If I ever have money I will save up for another one.

But for the poster, read my previous post. If she has to spend your money to be happy then she's not worth it. I've had girls like that and they always end up breaking your wallet and your heart. Just do the wise thing and tell her "NO!!".

Lucy: Thank you Idaho Humane Society. My good friend who now protects my wife while I'm away at work. You show me a yorkie who can rip a mans arm off and you can have my blessing.
Based on your comment about her not being the best co-pilot I would definitly wait on the dog. Wait until she is either your fiance, wife, or you hit the lottery.

It does not stop at $900 whereas your top........does not require much after sale support. :-)

It's pretty much been said, but chalk me up also in the, "Buy the HT and the Dog, and dump the gf" category.

At the end of the day, you still have to sleep with yourself. Do you wanna sleep without your stones? Would your girlfriend want to sleep with you without your stones? She can buy her own dog and learn a valuable lesson on budgeting and delaying gratification. . .
