Someone just said your yorkie just had his whole life changed and it's true - it does take them time to adjust.
The thing that catches my attention is how little you guys are home....they get very lonely being left alone....but having 2 doesn't take away from the attention you can give one....it actually gives the dog someone to hang out with - my girls are attached at the hip and would be so miserable if not together all the time but as you said - you aren't really home that much so IF I were to offer advise I'd say not to get another just for that reason. |
Well what we're thinking about doing, is caging off a room (kitchen probably) for the dog...so he has more room...in that case, perhaps having another dog would work because they'd have room to play....maybe that'd work?? I'd hope so, because I don't want the dog to be completely lonely msot of the day...and I'm sure attention from another dog would substitute well for human attention.
However, if we got another one....it'd have to be female....for sure.
