But I just dont know how to say that he should stay at home without implying that they arent fit to look after him. They are just a lot more relaxed with their dogs than I am with Toby. Its a really awkward situation.
I am going to get another pup mid November, and I will keep it at home for a while cos it will be too small etc, so hopefully I can stop it then, but I am not comfortable waiting til then.
I think it would just look to them like I am overeacting - me who has had Toby for 4 months, or them who have had dogs for 25 - 30 years - I wonder who knows how to look after dogs better? |
I think I would just insist he is fine on his own at home. if you take your dog there even one more time it could be the time he gets hurt. You will never forgive yourself for not going with your instinks. Do you care so much about what they think that you would risk your dog's well being? You have to tell your self you are going to do what is right for you and your dog.
