Owning a pet, of any kind, is a serious committment. It goes far beyond
putting a bow in their hair and carrying them around in a purse. It's not much
different than bringing a skin baby into your home.
I work fulltime and I'm gone for 8-9 hrs Mon-Fri, however, the rest of
my time is all Buddy's. Total commitment. I cancel dinners, vacations etc
because of him. To train a Yorkie can be a real challenge. I went home for
6wks on my lunch hour(I live 14mi from home) to let him relieve himself until he was old enough (It was stressfull) to hold it all day. You will need to play with him at night and in the am
before leaving for school. Weekends should be totally spent with him unless
you take him along. It's hard when they are left alone during the day and it
is so very important to spend the evening with them. Yorkies are hyper,
high maintenance dogs. They require human contact, grooming, health care,
proper food and can get stressed if their needs are not met. It's a total
committment from day one.
It's good that your asking about it before you do make the committment
because it is a very serious one.
Good luck to you, |
