I'm in school and sometimes its not easy. I'm in fourth year, and we got Harley last year. I got him because I used to own a huge indoor riding arena which held 20+horses. My mom took over when I left and we had a huge agreement. I missed the horses and always wanted another pet. In highschool I managed to run a business ride 2-4 horses a day, teach lessons and still maintain my honors (I burnt out) so I figured I could hold down the fort with on pup.

He takes all my attention, my bf and usually have alternating schedules, so he usually isn't home that long... I've had days where he's been alone for 6-8 hours, but those days we usually run home and check on him. My problem isn't the attention, it's the money.

I reduced my course load and will be taking an extra semester. It's my hope to get marking or TA positions to make some more money, last semester I worked for a prof who allowed me to bring him to work, plus I worked at home a lot.

My friends all think I'm nutts, but in highschool I was so used to having those horses that depended on me, I missed having an animal companion, I wouldn't trade him for the world. My friends have however invoked a "no second yorkie" rule until I graduate.... considering I'm facing the bills of law school next.
