| Boyfriend moving out, will my little guy miss him? This may sound like a silly question, but my boyfriend and I have recently broken up after living together for a year and a half. They spent a lot of time together since we typically had opposite work schedules. He will be moving out in the next few weeks, and I'm concerned about my yorkie missing him. I work 8 to 5, which is usually the time he spends with him. . . . Any suggestions or input would be appreciated! |

| I'm not sure, but just sending some hugs your way. Good luck to you and your pup with the transition. If he has trouble staying home alone that long you might want to leave the TV or radio on, but I don't have advice about him missing your ex... sorry |

| Maybe you can put him a doggy daycare during the day. Even if it is 2 or3 days a week. Good luck

| He will adapt to the change in your life. Don't worry and everything will turn out fine. Animals do not have the same emotions as say a child with parents that are divorcing.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | He may miss him but he will adjust. My daughter just moved out on her own and one of mine is very attached to her. They all seemed sad the day she moved out, but I think it was more the commotion of moving her stuff out. She seems fine now.

| Personally, I'd replace the boyfriend with another Yorkie...but that's just me. Sorry, that wasn't meant to sting if you're upset about the breakup...I was just kidding ("kinda") but my Yorkie coped much better after we got another Yorkie (of course, until the pup was big enough we separated them while we were gone to keep the pup safe "just in case" Gracie wasn't as thrilled with her 'friend' as we were), but after awhile it really helped with Gracie's separation anxiety. Now they both mope at the window until I get home (according to those still at the house after I leave) but at least they have each other. Kendra |

YT Addict | My boyfriend is house sitting for his parents in a different city. I wondered this myself. Today is the first day that she will be home without him stopping by for lunch. I'm curious to see how she does. When I went to Brazil for 2 weeks and left her home with the boyfriend she... ate a wall!! yep, a wall. She has seemed fine for the most part over the last 2 days but that didnt stop me from ensuring all my designer shoes were put away http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._5273603_n.jpg

| Hey, I was thinking of posting something like this. Me and my BF have been together for almost 3 years, we got Harley last year, at Christmas time, and we're having troubles. Although the BF bought Harley we agreed from the start that he is my dog, no matter what. I'm scared for our relationship, and I'm also worried by my furbaby. I'm not the best off financially, so a second is not an option, I just can't afford. and I can't really afford doggy daycare either. I really hope we don't split, but I'm starting to prepare myself for it. *Hugs* out to the original poster, I feel your pain, I'm hoping we don't end up splitting, but he keeps bringing it up, I'm scared. Just remember to give your baby lots of hugs and kisses and love when you are around, that's what I'm doing.

But in all seriousness, they do adjust. My DD worked part-time, mostly late afternoon/evening shifts. So my dogs (all three) had free run of the house. When she got a full-time job I was concerned about having to keep them in their expen all day with only a break at lunchtime when I come home. In the end, it turned out to be the best thing ever. Simply because they settled down, became a bit more behaved, and actually now look forward to going back "in their house" while mommy goes to work. Why not, they get a treat and a nice nap! It will be fine...you'll see.

| I like the post about getting another dog. If you can't however I'm sure the dog will be fine after awhile. It's going to take a little time though. |

| Ohh, how I feel for you. My boyfriend and I were together for FIVE years and broke up in December. I was worried about how my baby would react, but I think that Paisley could tell I was more upset about it and was just a little lover! He was sooo cuddly and wasn't getting into trouble like usual. It will sting for a while, but it gets better. At least you have each other to lean on (and getting a new baby wouldn't hurt) |
