Logan I feel for what you are going through. I wish I lived closer. I would kidnap that Yorkie! I think Yorkies are adorable! Seriously, I don't understand why anyone would leave a dog like that outside all day. It sounds like they are only half-hearted in their commitment to a dog, based on how the last one ended up.

It's interesting to see this topic, because we have a little cottage at the shore and just went away for overnight. We left Bella here at home with my son. We actually were going to take her with us but I was afraid that she would bark inside the cottage when we were out and I didn't want the neighbors to be annoyed. She doesn't bark here but the shore house is a little strange to her yet and I was afraid she would have a little separation anxiety at a different house.

Unfortunately some people just don't take time to consider others. I remember a neighbor from years ago who was an RN and worked 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM. She slept during the day. I guess the yorkie's owners don't realize that there may be people who have to sleep during the day and are being bothered by the barking.

I wish I had an answer for you but I don't. It might be that another neighbor will have a word with these people and you won't even have to get involved. Hopefully this will be resolved shortly for your sake as well as that little yorkie.
