| HI and Welcome. What would the arrangements be for the puppy while you were gone? I am gone from 1:30 - 8:30 and hubby from 7-5:30 monday through Friday. Gypsy has her own room and she seems to do fine. The more time you can spend with the pup is of course better, but you have to work. Some people may not agree with me of course.

| hi there welcome. we both work 6 days a weeks here in the canaries typically one 9till 4 and the other 10.30 till 5, sometimes we both get the same day off othertimes different days off. Kinnys is now 8 months old, we got her when she was 8 weeks. Atfirst you could hear her howling when we left for work, it took 2 weeks of this before she settled, I think she sleeps mostof the day as she very rarely touches treats food or toys when we are out, but she is waiting by the window on look out for when we get home. We did feel terrible when leaving her but when we are here she goes everywhere possible with us including eating out and shopping, we have a great little dog, its all routine, she knows its part of everyday routine and accepts it work is part of life im afraid, as long as they get all the love they need all hould be fin hope this helps ?? |

| Thanks, we have a spare bedroom which is empty and a large kitchen so the pup could stay in either while we were at work. |

| It's a long day for a Yorkie. He/she could get lonely. Could someone not call home at lunch time. Hugs Shirl x x |
