I'm really torn up about my yorkie girls and feel like i'm neglecting them. I just don't know what to do. I have been working up to 70hrs a week, i'm the bread winner in the family so saying no to the overtime is not really an option. I have 6 dogs total, the 2 yorkies being the small ones and 5 kids. My yorkie babies stay in an ex-pen for their own safety and use pee pads to potty in the pen. I'm not finding enough time to have them out and running about and getting the attention they deserve.
I'm even having trouble finding the time to brush them as often as they need. The hours i'm working will probably lessen at the first of the year but I still feel like i'm cheating them out of what they really need. Bella is very frail and I don't allow my little kids to handle her on their own because of fear of injury, my 5 and 11 yr old are great with animals and can handle Coco because she is sturdier but don't because Bella will get upset and bark the entire time out of jealousy. My husband can't be bothered by either of them.. he says they are "my" dogs.
OMG, I feel so heartbroken that i'm having them live such an exsistance. What should I do?
