Overall though Nemo is I would consider a odd pup. He can't seem to be interested in anything for too long *except us*. He actually looks like he's fairly bored most of the time. I mean he has a spurts of playfullness but they don't last that long...maybe 15-30 min. After that he just drops whatever he's doing and goes under the bed a just lays there looking at me.[/QUOTE]
He's not odd!!! Lol. Yorkies are quirky dogs. And of course he's interested in you, you're all he has in the whole world! Yorkies are dependent little dogs. It's possible to have a yorkie and work 9-5, but you need to make sure you spend all of your evenings/weekends with them around you. I'm only 22 and I give up a lot of social outings (i.e. happy hour, softball leagues) because of my dog. If I can't bring my dog with me (or my boyfriend isn't home to watch him), I usually won't go somewhere. I know you want to keep this dog, but yorkies are a HUGE commitment. They can live to be 12 - 15 years old and they aren't the easiest dogs to train either. So, read up on the breed and being a dog owner. At bare minimum read Yorkshire Terriers for Dummies. And consider getting your dog into a training class. Petsmart and other pet stores have them. You'll get a lot of good advice on here. Good luck! |
