and playing with him and walking him again at 8 am before leaving for work, that when it was time for me to leave he whinned, cried and kept
hitting the closet door with his paw making it wiggle and make a slamming
noise. All this AFTER using rescue remedy. It was just one of those
days. I was running late facing bumper to bumper traffic and he was
not helping me, at all. I was so frustrated the only thing I could think
to do was take that dumb treat and throw it in my pocket book.
When I slammed the door and left him he never made another sound.
I felt so guilty all day with the treat in my bag.Wonder what he thought about that? He's been better since but every
so often he tests me and that day I just wanted to strangle him.
Ever have a day like this?

Lol, I'm sorry, but I cracked up when I read this: "I felt so guilty all day with the treat in my bag."

Feelings of quilt are the hardest feelings to accept. It's just so much easier to feel angry then guilty, and probably healthier for you too. You're a great mommy, but he just can't understand why you have to leave him. Yorkies are much more dependent on human companionship than other dogs, but that's why we love them so much. I really don't leave Joey much, I don't think it's good for him though, and I worry about if something happens to me, how will he handle it?
