Hi I am a newbie......

So I am wondering if anyone has advice for us. We just bought our first dog, Bella the yorkie. She is so cute! Unfortunatley we both work full time jobs and have to leave her home alone for about 9 hours! She started off in an exercise pen and now at 3 months she is confined to a portion of the kitchen with access to a patio. She is somewhat potty trained to go outside. She has plenty of toys..kong, cube, etc. We have been going home for lunch until this week since she has a more open area to hang out in now. We make sure to play with her when we get home and in the morning as well.

I feel really guilty leaving her alone and have even considered selling her to a family that is able to give her more time during the day. We thought it would be easier to raise a puppy... even with our full time jobs!

Thanks.
