My kids have been out of school for the summer and they have been with Mufasa ever since we got him earlier in the summer. The kids go back to school this Friday and Mufasa will be alone for about 8 hours a day. We take Mufasa with us everywhere we are allowed to take him so he's not used to staying by himself for long periods of time. I'm pretty anxious about it. We don't crate him but we do leave the doors to all the bedrooms closed so he only has access to the living room and kitchen which has been puppy proofed. Mufasa sleeps most of the day and I'm sure when we leave and he calms down he'll go right to sleep but it kills me when he barks when we leave. It's like he's saying "hey I wanna go". lol
He is one spoiled puppy and I'm sure he'll get used to us gone but it hurts my heart a little bit that he'll be home all day by himself. I'm trying to talk my hubby into me getting another one so they can play with each other through the day. It's a work in progress. lol
For those of you who leave your puppies alone during the day what do your puppies do? Sleep? |
