We got Annie when she was 8 weeks old. I had always wanted a yorkie and for our first anniversary my husband surprised me with Annie. He brought her home on a Thursday. So on Friday we had to go to work. Then we were with her the whole weekend and then back to work the next week.... After a couple of days she got kennel cough so we had a hard time getting her to eat but we talked to vet and the breeder and we got through it. Don't worry. If sparky doesn't eat, just make sure he gets some nutrical so that way he is getting some nutrients and an energy boost, and when you are at home "spoon" feed him if you have to make sure that he gets some food in him... She was never angry with us.... Whenever we are home she is so happy to see, that all she wants to do is be at our side
