My husband and I recently got a 3 month old Yorkie puppy. Having never had a dog before, this is NEW territory for us.
She is somewhat trained…can sit on command and lay down. She is also potty trained.
The problem…is that we both work long hours and are unable to be home with her a lot. This causes us both to feel guilty and we are at the point where we are unsure if we can keep her. She often has one “pee” accident while we are gone…but can we expect she hold it this long? She is left alone for on average 7-10 hours per day. Is this fair to her? Should we be looking for a new home. Friends have offered to take her because they are able to be home in the middle of the day…but we have grown attached to her and aren’t sure if this is “puppy” stuff or things that will not change over time.
Advice would be appreciated as this is such a difficult decision. Thank you!
