Now, I wish this were possible but I just started a new job and I don't think I'll be able to bring him to work with me everyday. NOT that I haven't asked my boss, because I totally have.
But, what do I do? If I can't bring him to work with me, I don't know what I'm going to do. I'll seriously have a panic attack if I'm sitting there worrying that he's at home, scared and missing me and I'll be thinking that something's going to happen! She said that it was possible for him to have an anxiety attack so bad that it could cause a heart attack and he could DIE! She also said that if he isn't fed every few hours and let out to go to the bathroom that he'll die!
I mean, what do I do? Really? I'm scared and nervous and I feel like an new mom and it's worrying me to death. I just don't know what to do! If anyone could give me any advice, I would appreciate it so much. Like, really. So much!
Thanks! |
No, your puppy will not have an attack and die and I find it odd somebody would tell you that.
I have 3 yorkies and I did take at least a few days off or more when I got them to get them used to their surroundings. I would recommend getting him late friday or early saturday so you can have the weekend with your baby.
What I did for many, many months was drive home at lunch to let my pup out potty and get a little attention. Would it be possible for you to do that?
I think things will be fine, don't let this lady scare you or make getting your pup a bad/scary experience.
