I am sure there are plenty of people who work 40 hrs a week and still have yorkies...? |
i work 40 hours a week and so does my husband BUT we work on opposite shifts so there is almost NEVER a day goes by that someone isn't home almost the entire day. they are alone maybe 2-4 hours TOPS on most days with a very rare day that is about 8 hours total. but NEVER EVER more than 8 hours without someone letting them out and spending lots of snuggle time with them. it wouldn't be fair or right to have a dog that's never with me even if i get a few hours here and there it is not enough.
i still say NO WAY. get a fish or cat or something not nearly as dependent on you as a yorkie will be or get a different job or quit yoga if you want a yorkie. it's a sacrifice of self to have a puppy and esp a yorkie. they need you a lot more than it sounds like you have time in your life right now for. maybe wait until it slows down more?
