I work 40+ hrs/week and Piper is alone for @9hrs five night/week. HOWEVER, I did not get Piper to leave her alone or hire someone to assist...When not working, Piper pretty much goes everywhere I go; it's as important to her as it is to me (probably more so actually). Yorkies are keenly intelligent and very sensitive and being with their person and truly being part of their life is paramount to these little ones. You'll find that even in the house, wherever you go, your yorkie goes! Their connection and desire to be near you at all times is one of their most endearing traits. I'm sure you're a warm, loving person, but please do more research on yorkies as they are delightfully, wonderfully, high-maintenance. I'm thinking perhaps there's a better fit for you insofar as a canine companion at this time in your life. |
