"I own a design company and she constantly wants attention."
EXACTLY. Same here.
I've been thinking that it's because Chewy is a player. He is a naturally dominant little fellow and so he will work me to get attention. With him, he will snuff at me when I don't drop whatever project I'm trying to get in under the deadline, and go destroy something to force me to interact with him.
I thought perhaps I wasn't giving him enough attention, but I play with him for HOURS every day, and walk him every day once or twice, and he often gets to play with other dogs in the yard. But it's at the point that I'm thinking that the only cure for a bored yorkie is going to have to be another yorkie. Am I digging my own grave? Or doubling the fun while cutting the needyness in half? |
