I am sure there are plenty of people who work 40 hrs a week and still have yorkies...? |

My posts take a long time to show up because they are moderated and when they do show up they are buried among other people's posts (retroactive)so please read my responses on page three. It's not really 12-14 hrs; like I said just 11 hours max maybe twice a week. I cannot not work out and I don't like to do it at home at all.
Like I said; I read some posts from some folks by googling past topics and I've read other owners say that they leave theirs home for 8-9 hours while they go to work and no one else said anything... |

Certainly! I work 40 hrs a week, but my lil girl comes to work with me and is able to go outside whenever she needs.
You're correct! They are not kids. They are needier than children. You do not have the time for a yorkie. They need lots of human interaction, playtime, long walks, and it takes a great deal of time to train them. I have never seen a yorkie in my life that liked to spend time alone. You have to place the yorkie first and you are not doing that. They are like babies all of their lives. They never grow past that stage. A yorkie is not for you, so do not try to convince those of us who have had yorkies for many, many years.
