I know your pain. I adopted 2 Yorkies (from someone who was never available to them), in part because I worked from home and knew I could give them the attention they deserved.
Then after a year of Yorkie ownership, my employer changed my job - ugh - and required me to in the office, and 3 of the 5 days are 10 hour days!
I started that in Sept. and to be honest, I think the dogs have adjusted better than I have - LOL. Of course, they do have each other - and I usually run home at lunch and let them out.
The worse part is that I'm either exhausted when I come home from those long days, or worse if I have errands to run - I feel like I take away from them more.
I do just work 4 hours on Tuesdays and they love that!! So, I know they know the difference
And the best news is my boss just told me on Friday that I can start working from home for 2 hours a day twice a week.
You've received a lot of good advice, and it's great that Bella has a fun kitty friend to play with. Do they curl up and sleep together? My male Yorkie - Bubba - and my almost 18 year old male Siamese - love to sleep together. Sometimes I find Alexander sleeping in the dogs bed!
I know a lot of people say the radio or TV help. Best wishes for a smooth transition.
