The problem is...my family had told me they would help me with the dog through my last year of school and now their opinions are changing...I'm going into my last year of college and will need help feeding and walking him at night because I will not be getting home until 7 or 8.
I don't know what to do and am completely stressed about the situation. My puppy Benny loves attention and loves to be with people and I feel even though he's happy with me, I want him to have the world and more...The near thought of me reselling him makes me filled with guilt and sadness. I just want him to have the best life he can...
Any suggestions from yorkie lovers would be so greatly appreciated! Thank you...

Lucky for you Yorkies don't need tons of exercise.. just some attention and to be taken out to potty.. or you can try to potty pad train him. This is similar to the past owner of my teddy. Only she was working long long hours and he was being kept in his crate for 8+ hours everyday and only like 30mins outside if that. I bought him for 400 and now he has friends to play with but he only goes outside to pee during the hot hours at after 7 or 8 is when I bring him out for an hour or more because it's cooler. He also has tons of toys to play with to keep him company.
If all else fails look up a puppysitter place and maybe he can go there a few times a week or even a couple times. Maybe you have a friend who can drop by on him whenever she's not in class once a day or every so many days to work with the petsitter on days he isn't there(at the sitter). If you decide not to keep him I'm sure there are tons here that would take him in. or even if there's a member that lives near you maybe you two can work something out.
