How Long can I leave my pup home alone for? I just started a new job, and I feel terrible for leaving my pup home for 8 hours. I obviously load her dish up with food and water, and she has free reign of my place...she goes on the wee wee pad. Is this ok? Should I get another yorkie to keep her company? HELP!:animal-pa |
I'd suggest not allowing her free reign. Can you babygate her in a bathroom...or your kitchen? Or use an xpen? If at all possible I'd have someone come in mid day to check on her too. |
lexi has free reign of my house and she loves it. im gone like 9 hours a day.. |

i feel like she is lonely. i wish i didn't feel such guilt. she is 1 year old...i have my own business, so I am only away 3 days a week from her from 8-5:30. I did have someone come and walk her, but it is $15 for a 30 min walk, and it gets costly. My parents said she will be fine and dogs sleep during the day. |
I work all day and Caylee in a baby playpen that was my sons. Once she's potty trained we'll do something different. |
It is great for them to have a companion but you need to be prepared for them not liking thier companion, especially since she is already a year old. We have a 1 year old yorkie and a 5 month old yorkie and they do love each other and play great. But after spending all day together all our older wants is to be free from the puppy. If we give the puppy lots of attention he gets bummed out and will go lay down somewhere all by himself. It has definately changed his personality. Also two yorkies is more than twice the work of one yorkie, if you are only gone 3 days per week I would not worry about it. It will take some time to adjust into the new routine but it is probably bothering you more than it is her. |
willow is so playful all she wants to do is play lol. my parents mentioned that i will have twice the work...i just love her so much and baby her, it is my own fault, but she is my little one. thanks for all of your reply's :) |
Mocha used to come to work with me when he was younger, but now that he's older (and learned how to bark at everything!) he stays home. I was really nervous about leaving him alone during the day. I bought a Pet Cam to see what he does when I'm gone, and lo and behold he just sleeps all day. I think your baby will be fine...it's actually harder on us than it is on them :rolleyes: |

That's actually part of the reason why I'm getting a second dog; to keep my Chi company when I return to work. I've not been working the whole time I've had Ellie due to ill health but am hoping to start some very part time work a couple of days a week soon and it'd be nice if she had company. :love-hug3 Jess :heart to |

I leave my girls in an xpen (seperate) for about 8 hrs. per day. They do sleep all day, and party every night!!! (even when I'm home from work). |

Ok, I don't know why your pup is away from her Mom so soon, but for future reference: a Yorkie Pup should not leave their Mom until atleast 12 weeks of age. Now, make sure you have NUTRACAL and don't leave this pup alone for atleast 4 more weeks. Make sure she is eating and drinking appropriate amounts of food and water. If you see ANY changes in her such as diahrrhea, vomiting, seizure, not drinking or eating GET TO A VET IMMEDIATELY. Good Luck, keep us posted. |
do i need to give my dog replacement milk since she is so young coming to me and my breeder said no and she eats purina |
Have you been to a vet yet? how much does she weigh? |
