| What do you think you baby does when you are away at work? I will start working on monday ( I didn't work for 2 months) and I'm very worried and feeling guilty about leaving Royce alone for 8 hours . He will have free roam of the apartment, I will leave the radio on, a kong, treats and some toys but i still feel very guilty and think that he will be bored alone for 8 hours ( I didnt feel this way during my previous job because first Royce was a puppy and I knew he would sleep most of the day and second I used to be away only for 6 hours ) Please all working moms and dads share your experiences and what I can do sothat he wont get bored . thanks |

| Rosie loves to play 24/7, so I also feel bad leaving her. We tried to give her a kong and busy buddy, but she only plays with them when we are home. Also, her toys are not touched. However, when we leave our dinner napkin on the table, she will grab it and tear it while we are gone. I guess I should try leaving a roll of toilet paper. The rest of the time I think she sleeps. |

| Pepper sleeps... I can tell because he's bursting with energy when we get home. He's alone for about 6-7 hours. Maybe daycare for a day or two would help you? I'm planning to start doing that as soon as I get the post-xmas bills out of the way...

| Don't feel too guilty about leaving your baby. I think we all go through this horrendous guilt when really we shouldn't. I do have a dog walker that comes in midday to give mine a little TLC and to also break up the day for them but I'm pretty sure mine sleep while we are at work. I know if I have a day off and I'm home, they still sleep most of the day. I think it does help if you have more than one because they keep each other company. Mine do have free reign in most of the house and fortunately, both of mine are pretty laid back so I don't have to worry about them tearing up the place. The worst is coming home to an occasional pee puddle because Biscuit has decieded to lift his leg on something. He goes through fazes like that. I can't explain it and it drives me nuts but he's so darn cute, it's hard to get mad at him. |

| I leave Gracie in her ex-pen all day. About all she does is sleep and go to the bathroom, because when I get home very often the toys have not been moved and no food has been eaten. I try to take her with me to work 1/2 day per week. She now goes to the groomer 1/2 day every 8 weeks or so. I plan to start sending her to doggy day care one or two days per week as soon as I can.

| I'm not sure what Rocky does...depending on how long I'm goin to be gone and if he's already pee'd an pooped, I will leave him either in his crate or in my bedroom. In my bedroom he loves to sit on the bed and look out the window like a gaurd dog. In his crate I think he just sleeps. He does get mad at me when I leave though. I pick him up to give him kisses and he just turns his head and sticks his nose up at me. But of course when I come home it's a different story...tons of kisses, then he'll start running to my bf to welcome him home, but he only goes like halfway up to him then runs back to me..this happens like 7 times LOL

| What do Yorkies do when they are home alone? My two figured out how to push a chair up to the baby gate that keeps them in one area of the house...they jumped over the gate and ran around the rest of the house all day! |

| I don't trust grayson to have full roam of the house he is crate trained and only in his crate for 5 hours Max he has in his crate favorite toys and of course water no food though. I think he sleeps most of the time.
