Hello:

So I just adopted this beautiful little yorkie girl name Lexi about a month ago. My husband was thinking of retiring but has since returned to work. Therefore I have to place her in a playpen for about 8 hours per day. I have a doggie cam and it's so sad watching her in that cage alone without human interaction for that long a period. She does not have separation anxiety but I'm sure she is pretty bored and missing us throughout the day. My life is quite busy and I'm not sure if this is fair to her to leave her alone, 5 days per week just because we love her and want to keep her.

I've considered doggie day care but I cannot afford that. I've also considered getting a dog walker while at work but don't have anyone that would do that and not sure I want a complete stranger going through my home while I'm not home.

My co-worker wants to adopt her because she has the time to spend with her. My thing is it will probably be super hard hearing all the stories about how wonderfully she is doing with the dog I love.

Any suggestions would help. Please, I have to make a decision soon. I'm so sad.
