I leave him treats and a small dental bone sometimes or his porkhide bone. He probably chews on them for a bit. But they don't appear offer any long term help. He just sleeps and seems very bored. He is not eating either (not until I come home and then I need to feed him myself).
Any ideas? Really appreciate it! Someone suggested getting him a KONG toy, I am going to look into it. Sounds like there are a few KONG options, I need to figure out which one is the best for him and his age. thanks! |
My suggestion!!!!!!??? Get another Yorkie!! I used to bring Sadie (3 yrs old now) to my parents when I would work because I didn't like leaving her alone. I bought Lillie last August (she is 11 months old now). I was unemployed for 9 months so I was here with both of them for all that time. I am now working again and now that Lillie is a "big girl" and doesn't have to stay in her pen anymore, I leave them home when I work. Works out real well, they have each other during the day.
