Taking him is one option, but the lake we go to wouldn't be very pet friendly. So...how long is too long to leave him home alone? Would one short visit from a friend to let him out be sufficient over a 10 hour period? or...do any of you have experience taking your yorkies to the lake? How do they handle it? I worry about him...Thanks.  |
You're a good momma to worry about him being alone too long! It's a fact of life that sometimes our dogs simply can't go with us. That's life folks!! Your question is "Would one short visit from a friend to let him out be sufficient over a ten hour period?" I think that TWO visits from your friend to let him out is more appropriate. One visit 4 hours after you leave him and then the next one fours hours after that. I'm sure everything will be fine and he will be ok with that. Have fun at the lake!!!!
