I do hope all goes well and l can see that you are tying your best, the piece of clothing is a really good idea actually.
Again l am trying not to be rude, it's just my opinion. My husband is retired and l work part time. We just recntly lost my GSD Seiger aged 12
Bless him. We now only have the 3 little ones and the oldest Schmoo is having his first birthday on the 28th of this month.
I suppose if we had a major financial crisis and we both had to work full time - we would be in your position too of whether to leave them on their own. I would probably have to think really hard about whats the right thing to do, but at the end of the day, they do need to be fed and that takes money!
Anyway peace to all us animal owners and our beloved pets. Long may we have them as there little lives are short!
