| Regarding doggie door...You don't ever want your girl outside unsupervised--ever! There are many predators who will grab her in an instant--from human to birds-of-prey to coyotes, large dogs, etc. She'll be fine; Piper is alone 8-9 hrs a night, so I think if you love on her, play with her, shower her with attention when you're home, your sweet girl will be happy. She's yours, she's found her home and think you'd regret not keeping her...! They learn to manage and I believe a lot of times it's much harder on us than them!! |

Brandi was an escaped artist too....I was crate training her and I would leave and for a few hours and whenever I got home.......miss thing was waiting for me. That's when I got the webcam to see how she was escaping. It was hilarious, she would wait a few minutes to make sure I was gone. In less than two minutes, she was out of her crate. Little stinker was watching how I was putting her in the crate and latching it. That's when I go the expen and ONLY put her in from the top.......these little buggers are constantly outsmarting us. | |

| You’ve got great advice here! I agree that there’s no reason to re-home your baby. I work 5 days a week and leave my girls in an x-pen for 7-8 hours a day. I do take them to doggie daycare once, sometimes twice a week. But, I think they’d be fine without that. Rylee uses a potty pad throughout the day and Monroe generally holds it until I get home. I do watch them on the “nanny-cam” occasionally but honestly all they do is sleep so I’ve gotten lazy and stopped setting it up. I leave mine in the x-pen because they like to eat anything that’s not a toy & the cam was helpful in figuring this out. If yours is potty trained & you can trust her then I’d give her access to whatever area you feel most comfortable with! Enjoy your baby and try not to feel guilty. I struggle with this, a lot! But, as you can see there’s many in the same boat and these kiddos do just fine! |

| Great advice already, but another story. We got Zeus and just hated leaving him home alone. (My dream is to be a stay at home dog mommy!) So, we got Perseus, and he has separation anxiety and can be quite destructive; however, we love him so much, we have taken of some things and confine them to two large rooms. I would never give up my babies, because the utter joy and happiness, unconditional love, and acceptance of our love is the best ever! My husband leaves for work at 9:00-9:30, and goes home at lunch to spend with them. My high school son gets home by 3:20 and is with them until I get home at 5:20. It will be harder when he graduates and leaves home, but I hoping they will be older and more well-adjusted by that time. If you love this baby, I would definitely keep. The love of a dog is comparable to nothing else on earth! |

YT 2000 Club Member | Dog Do not rehome your precious yorkie. I was a school teacher. I had 2 yorkies and they were fine while I worked. Right now my daisy is a jumper and a barker. I would never rehome her. We will work through these issues. Yorkies bond with us and they are such great companions. You will regret and miss your sweet friend. Get anot her dog to keep company with yours. |
