Funny I get on here and this is one of the topics I see. I just left my house today to go into the office and my Georgie stands at the door and whines when I leave and it kills me. I try to make sure I leave later in the morning since his Daddy gets home at around noon, and my schedule is flexible. I also leave him tons of toys and he has a big sister to play with and she couldn't careless whether we are there
I keep telling myself as I walking out the door that obviously I have to work, and also I am sure he only whines for a minute and then occupies himself with his toys or playing with his sister. Yorkies are more like children than any dog I have ever had, our boxer is happy to see us but just goes and lays down when we leave. I guess that what makes Yorkies soooo special
I would just tell you what I tell myself if they do whine it's very temporary.
