It sounds to me like you are tired and stressed out. An active puppy is not what you want to come home to after a long day at work and I'm sure a puppy with a high energy level will not benefit from being locked in a crate all day while you are gone. It is only going to make her even more hyper once you get home. Is she in a crate all day? That could have something to do with the poo eating. Dogs that are locked in with their waste sometimes try to get rid of it by eating it.
If having this pup is making your life even more stressful I would advise you to find a home for it where it will get the additional time and attention it needs and deserves. Hopefully with someone with Yorkie experience that is home during the day. I'm sure some will disagree but you need to do what is best for both of you. Maybe you could contact a Yorkie rescue group that will help you to place your pup in a good home. Don't feel guilty. Sometimes we make mistakes and the best thing to do is make it right.
After my other dog passed on I thought long and hard before getting another. I don't think I would have done it if I had to work outside the home. Everything takes twice as long to accomplish with a puppy that has no one there for a good part of the day. You work 8 hours or more and then there is the time it takes to commute and to stop to get things at the store and that pup is sitting home alone all that time. I hope you get things settled for both of you. I hope you find a peaceful solution soon. |
