Due to the current state of the Economy, I recently had to start working more, I used to only work 2 Nights per week and now I added a 3rd Night and possibly a 4th Night? I don't work every Night, I will work one Night and then take the next Night off or 2 Nights straight and then rest, otherwise I would have major Sleep deprivation since one of my Pack of 3 Yorkie's eventually wakes me up.....to take them Pee Pee @ no later then 8:30 am.
My problem is my Mom recently moved-in (68 yrs. old and hates Dogs) she has been here exactly a month today. She is trying to make "Friends" w/my 3, of course they have learned to manipulate her into feeding them Table food.....everything! They have all gained a pound each and I personally have gained 2 pounds! I have explained why it's not Healthy etc. but she still won't STOP, she sneaks them Food behind my back too. I don't know how to handle it?
Another problem - All 3 of them refuse to go for "Walks" while I'm at work, they will go out to go pee off Leash in the back & front of our House, but won't walk past the Driveway on or off Leash w/my Mom or my BF?
If I walk them at Night w/them they will go and if by chance they do "Walk" they will NOT go Pooh w/them only w/me? I don't want to force them to go but with all the extra Food and weight gain I am worried that they need more Exercise! I had Artie Neutered about 6 months ago and I was warned by his Vet. that he would gain extra weight anyway.
I have had to walk them @ 3 am. when I get off work. They probably sense that I DON"T Trust anyone else with them?
Should I be worried?
