How to keep my yorkie occupied when I'm burnt out after work When I get home from working long hours in intensive care at a hospital I am thoroughly exhausted and Penny is all worked up. Since she is a puppy all she wants to do is play play play and when I get home from work all I want to do is sleep. I also go to school, but School isn't as bad as work. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can keep her occupied when I'm burnt out after a long day? |
I know you said you are tired, but honestly a good half hour walk will wipe her RIGHT out. You could also give her a kong, but i like to be able to watch Layla when she has one of those. |

I play fetch with Couver when he is all riled up and I am exhausted. He really enjoys it, and it really takes minimal effort on my part :p |

When I am tired and one of mine wants to play, I will take one of their toys and just play tug of war, that way O can watch TV or just sit there and they get attention. |

Hmmm what I'll do when I'm burnt out but my furbaby wants to play... I will play with her! Well just for about 15 minutes, and then hug her to sleep with me, she couldn't run so she has to close her eyes and meet me in dreamland :p |
A brisk walk :animal37, 3 times a day (before and after work, and just before bed-time), seems to do the trick. As I am always tired:dogzzz:, this is probably just what 'the doctor would order' anyway. Enjoy! |

It's amazing how entertaining this is for them. You hold one end, and they go crazy!! |
Get a playmate for her :) That's what I did.. they entertain themselves when I'm too tired.. I know that is probably not the answer you were looking for lol Sorry |
We just got back from our walk :animal37. Today will be a good day since I will get to be with Penny all day today, no work or school! :D |
I play with Sandy for 20mins when I'm home from work. We usually play fetch too. When the man comes an hour later, the first thing he does is to give me a kiss then off he goes playing with Sandy until dinner is ready :p |
When I get home Bud get's walked immediately for 20-25min. Then dinner for both of us. I still feel guilty since he's been alone all day so I make a cup of tea and sit on the floor and we have our chat time or play time for another 20 mins. I can't miss House Hunter's so I am in front of the TV by 7:30. If he still fells energetic I throw his baby from the recliner into the hall and he chases it. When he's tired he stops bringing it back to me then I settle in for two more hrs before it's bed time. I also play with him for 1/2 hr while having my wake up coffee from 6:30-7:00 after his breakfast and his first walk. They do exhust you and it's rough when your beat in the evening when you come home. |
