I don't want to come across as ungrateful and i realise how very lucky i am that i can have her with me..luckily they have always had dogs around and really don't mind having mine
They just have no idea even how to care for their own dog properly...i mean..she had even thrown leftover salad containing grapes out on the lawn too...i had to go out and pick every piece up before pixie got to it, she would only go to the toilet in their garden while off the lead..I did try to make her go while on the lead but she was very fussy about where she went because of being in a strange place!
