We had to put Bear in a puppy pen (pet store has). He was alone all day with food, water, puppy pad, and safe toy. Regardless of what we did, we felt really guilty leaving them at home alone all day... its so sad. We got another pup and now they have eachother. If you absolutely cannot do that, then leave the radio or television on softly so there is some ambient noise. Also, since it sounds like you are a new puppy owner, might I suggest that you consider going straight for the washable puppy pads, rather than the disposable? Since you cannot watch him all day, you cannot stop him from eating / playing with it. We used to come home to ripped up puppy pad and poopees had flown everywhere. We were not happy and spent a lot of time in the bath and cleaning up. Washable are great! Congratulations BTW. I love my baby more than I ever thought I could. |
