Uhhhh.....NO!!! You're a good mom for keeping your yorkie safe!! Most people chose to crate their yorkies, or put them in a ex-pen, or I've heard of some people putting them in a bathroom, to keep them safe when they are out of the house. Who knows what they could get into while you're out. They could chew wires, eat something off the floor, jump off a stair and break a bone or hurt their neck, the list is endless. If you're in a bad mood next time someone makes a comment like this, you may want to respond "because I actually care what happens to my dog while I'm out....sorry if my being a responsible dog owner offends you!" lol. When some dogs are older they can be trusted to not do those things, but def not puppies. We still crate Bandit while we're at work and he's almost 3! He stays out if we're gone for a hour or two, but when we're gone for work he stays in his crate, and Nala is always in her crate if we are not there to watch her. |
