Well, I have 2 skin kids, 2 Yorkies & 3 cats & one attention hog of a hubby. I love my Yorkies to pieces, but to be fair, I have to balance my time equally among everyone.

As for how much time they spend with me, they're underfoot all day. When I'm working (I work from home), they're in the office with me. When I cook, they're in the kitchen (scavenging, usually). When I'm gardening outdoors - yep, they're right there with me. Lately, however, when I play with my son, I keep them in the office (which is next door to his room). We've recently learned there's something wrong developmentally with him, so I've been spending a lot of time working with him & don't want any distractions whatsoever in that time. Other than that, they're always around. They're always underfoot & they usually go with me to run quick errands, unless I'm in a huge hurry (I have 2 kids to shuttle out the door), or if I'm going to be a while wherever I'm going. IN which case, they stay in the office. I take them on walks in the park across the street - which just so happens to also be across the street from the SPCA, so people are always walking dogs there. There are also dog walking groups there. It doesn't bother me one bit who my two socialize with, so long as they aren't rough and they aren't trying to hurt her. My only beef is when people let their dogs off leash over there. Especially untrained BIG dogs.
