That's so funny i have the same exact problem! Living in NY is just so expensive. My Bailey is usually alone for about nine hours, but she's been alone as long at 11 hours. I also looked into getting a second puppy but they're just too expensive and then the vet bills on top of it all. What i do with bailey is leave her a kong treat filled with peanut butter and cheerios and i know that keeps her occupied for a while. As soon as i get home i also take her for a long walk, usually around 30-45 minutes and that helps her burn off some energy, if not she won't really sleep at night. I don't know about you but i have no back yard so she really needs her walks. I know its hard but i'm sure you're doing all you can for your little one. |
