| How Long do you leave your Yorkie alone at a time??? I need some feedback from all of you that love your babies as much as I do...I am facing some changes that are requiring me to be gone over night one night a week and I can't take them with me any more. All of my kiddos are gone and I'm too picky to take them to be kenneled for 2 days (Although its not out of the question yet). I keep thinking they would be more comfortable here at the house with plenty of food and water and someone to come and check on them 2-3 times than to be locked up in a cage for two days?? They go to work with me during the rest of the week and I am with them 24 hours a day...this is why this change to so hard on me... I keep worrying about them getting lonely being here by theirselves. Maybe I"m being a little too anal about this and thats why I'm asking what all of you do and do you leave yours overnight or for long hours at home when you have too???

| They should be ok, they have each other to keep company. |

| They would be much happier in their own environment. As long as someone you trust looks in on them during the day and evening I don't think you have much to be concerned about. Leave some lights on and having each other for company makes it nice for them. Don't feel guilty. Look at the life they have and feel good about it. Carol & Buddy |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | I think you're ok. It's good you don't have only one, because they feel lonely, but when they have each other and they stay in their environment they are ok. Don't worry! |

| Also leave a TV or radio on, softly, so they have some "Human" company as well I leave my girls for hours twice a week for work. They seem to be just fine I also run errands the rest of the week for home and business, and they do well. I think it helps that there's two of them, too
