| Aww, Im sure he will settle back into the routine of you being at work within a few days. But how about you start putting him in his room/crate/pen for a couple hours while you are still off work, so that you can ease him back into it |

| Can you come home for any breaks during the day? If so you can get him used to it that way. I know how you feel - I work all day and my baby is home all day by himself. I always feel so bad for him. I wish I could be with him more but I have to work to afford to spoil him - ha, ha!

| Back to school soon Hi, I am also a school district employee. Luckily I work part time 3.5 days/week. But, my husband is usually home by about 1:00 pm from work. I just got my first Yorkie "Lily" the day after school got out at the end of May, and decided to get another pup so she'll have a companion when the kids and I do have to go back to school next month. So, we just got "Roscoe" last Saturday!!!! Besides, we love Lily so much, we thought it would be great to have 2!!

| I feel bad, too. I do get to come home for lunch most days, so I'm lucky. But now I feel real bad when I can't do "lunch with Chico". They do take long am & pm naps and anyway, don't you get the best "welcome home!!!" greetings in the world?? |

| Is here anyway you can disguise him as a student and take him with you. Maybe convince the principal that he is your class science project. |

| I'm a school teacher! But, I would say I'm lucky. I live in the town in which I teach, and my parents live 2 minutes away. I leave Baby in the cage until I come home for lunch. Then I take her to my parents' for the rest of the day. Good luck! We don't start school till Sept.

| I'm a teacher too! I live 45 min away from my school. Luckily my bf is home most days. Last year a few teachers brought their little pups in to the classroom. We are getting a new principal, but hopefully we can all convince her that our pups are okay at school. |

| I'm a teacher too. I just got a yorkie puppy yesterday. I plan on taking her to school with me. My principal won't mind and the kids will love her. |

| Wow! What an awesome principal! How lucky for you to take your furbaby to school! I'd like to hear how it goes in school, later in the fall!

| I think that your little one will get back into the routine. Leave your radio on or animal planet. Baby loves to watch animal planet. When she hears a dog bark or other animal noise, she searches the house, top to bottom until she is sure its not in the house. |
