 Omg!!!
This thread makes me furious and sad at the same time! I can't believe your roommate did this. There is no excuse for her actions and there is never an excuse for laying one's hands on a tiny animal, or any animal for that matter. I think an argument with her was completely justified. I am fiercely protective of my babies and I would have been tempted to give the roommate a taste of her own medicine.
My only "roommate" is my fiancé and I will tell you this.....if he ever tried this with one of my babies, his butt would be out of my life. Pronto! It takes a "special" kind of person to hit a little dog, not to mention withholding food as a punishment. Are you kidding me?????
Okay, I have said too much. I am just really upset about this. My advice....if you MUST keep her as a roommate, get a lock for your bedroom door. But, then again, what if there was a fire or something and nobody could get to your puppy? Hmmm. I hadn't thought about that.
I guess you should probably take your puppy with you everywhere, find a pet sitter or find a new roommate.
Good luck with your pup. I'm sure she will bounce back and be happy again with lots of love and cuddles from you.
