I had no idea they demanded so much care. My ex bf's family had a dog that was only kept in the yard (never allowed in), I have no idea what breed it was but it was more of a guard dog and no one played with it (except fed it) and it was fine. I had no idea that yorkies were so sociable and needed so much attention.
I'm glad I asked though so I can make a good decision. I always plan to have a busy life I guess and I enjoy working 40 hours a week (and don't see myself quitting ever) so probably best not to get a yorkie! |
I'm so glad you took the time to research this and came
to the best choice. One day you will have more time and the timing will be better.
If you really want a companion, an older cat may be alright. My cat doesn't do anything except sleep and hiss at the dogs (when she graces us with her presence, once in a blue moon). At night she creeps in my room and sleeps with me, but during the day she is no where to be found. She was a rescue. Maybe you could go to your local shelter and look into an older cat.
