Ok, I have raised dogs all my life, well not all but for about 15 years I raised, breed, and trained Catahoula's. I have been around large dogs all my life, all outside dogs.

My fiance and I got a new Parti Yorkie, she was 3 months old when we purchased her and now she just turned 6months on July 15th. She is not a toy. I have never had much experience with smaller puppies here is my problem concern for her.

When we first got her and she was left alone we kept her in a larger then needed kennel but I was no comfortable with that, now she stays in our bed room while we are at work. My fiance goes to work for 7 or 8 am and I get home for 1pm. The most she is alone for is 6 hours a day. She get so excited to see either of us when we get home I actually worry about her, she is so hyper, she runs circles around us and insists on being held, and still runs up the couch and around us when we sit down. She gets so excited she actually starts whining as almost as if hyperventilating, but not quite, just extremely excited and whining, I have never seen such emotion to that level, so here is the catch, while I can understand her excitement when we arrive home while she is alone, if I go to the store and leave her home, I have to walk in with the groceries to calm her before I can carry anything in. and the last few days when I get home from the gymn and take a shower, she is the same way when I get out the shower, she does not like being alone on any level for any amount of time, she is not bad when she is alone, I have a webcam monitoring our bedroom I can access from my phone, she looks around the room and smells for us, but is never bad, she is almost potty trained, very rarely has an accident, does not chew, is not overly hyper, and is not a barker, she loves attention, from anybody, even friends of mine that come over she has never met.

I am just looking for advice, I know there may be nothing that I can do, but I feel bad for her, and the last two days she has been extremely attached and we are going on vacation for 4 days, she is staying with a friend who I trust, its almost as if she can sense we are leaving her.

I apologize for the long run on statement, I just looking to the wisdom of other experienced yorkie owners.

Thank you in advance.

David and my baby Dutchess :-)
