Could he be bored? My yorkie almost never sleeps or she is a light sleeper. She won't play, she just lay down and stares either at me or into nothingness. I know she is bored out of her mind as she can be quite energetic. She needs stimulation but I have been unable to find a toy or activity that will stimulate her for longer than a few hours. The only thing that she really loves and can't get enough of is going outside. Now that it is getting cold, our walks have been drastically decrease. In the summer we walked 3 times a day. Then I start feeling guilty because I know she is bored and then I start thinking about getting her a playmate.
My biggest concern is that I am killing her spirit. I love her youthful exuberance and I don't want her to loose it but it is impossible to keep her entertained 24 hours a day. |
