I am a huge dog lover. I grew up with dogs and have wanted one of my own since leaving for college. I am now in my second year of law school and have a really flexible next semester (only classes two days a week). I want to get a yorkie in December after finals. I will have two weeks with my pup and then school. But my dilemma is the summer. I was offered a summer job from May to August working full time. Taking account of my commute, I may be gone for as long as 11 hours. I have roommates that won't be gone as long as me. I would of course make my puppy comfortable. And my schedule will be fine again in the fall. What do you think? Is that too selfish of me? Thank you in advance for your help! |
A lot of us have full time jobs and somehow make it work. It sounds like you may have more time to spend with your little one now vs later (summer). So you may have time for the potty training process, which can be long and hard on your patience (sometimes). I will admit I feel awfully guilty leaving my little one each and every morning for work. But he brings the biggest smile on my face when I walk in the door. You should see his happy dance!
Would you consider an older pup? (1 yr and up) They do require training, but it's a little less than a tiny puppy.
