When we first got Max we both worked long hours every day. We had talked for a few years about getting a dog but did not want to leave him/her home alone all day. Toni always wanted a yorkie and then one day her boss told her if she got a yorkie she could bring it to work every day. She was so happy she cried. And so Max came along. Everything was great for about 3 months until the landlord of the business complex sent out a memo saying that dogs were not allowed in the building. It didn't even have anything to do with Max. Somebody else in the complex was bringing in some big dog that was pooping all over the place. There went the perfect situation. It broke our hearts to leave him home every day so we brainstormed and came up with an idea so that we would not have to leave him alone all day. Get another yorkie! Off we we went and got his sister from the next litter and after some more potty training we are able to leave them together all day. They are still sooooo happy to see us come home every day but they definitely keep each other company. We have a Nest cam to watch them and they play with each other, fight with each but mostly nap with each other. We limited their access to the family room and kitchen with gates and make sure their pee pads are there (although Max wants to mark the furniture whenever he can!). A 2nd furbaby may not be an option for everyone but for us it was the perfect solution.
