I don't like to leave Squeaky no more than 3 - 4 hours at a time either. He is accustomed to going outside every 3 - 4 hours and I am very blessed to have In-Laws that love him as much as we do. My husband and I made the decision several years ago for me to stay home with Squeaky - we're not rich or anything and we have a pretty strict budget - but it's been worth it. I have always had big dogs - Labradors and German Shepherds - and Squeak is my first baby. I think if they were to get a Yorkie, they'd fully understand why we're so "Ga-Ga" over them. All small dogs are precious but the Yorkie's have always held a special place in my heart. Squeaky isn't a full bred Yorkie, he's half Yorkie and half Shih Tzu - but he looks, acts and is medically like his Dad, who was a Yorkie. If I can figure out how to put pictures on here, I'll put one on. He's black all over and when he's in the sun, you can see the brownish hue in his coat. He has to lay on my computer station desk when I'm on the computer. He's laid here today for a little over an hour with me. He loves his "Mommie!" |
