My husband and I left for a trip to Arizona while our neighbor watched Isla. They used to watch her a couple years ago, but we haven't left her for about a year and 1/2. SHE WAS NOT HAPPY! Usually she likes to go over and play with their mini daschund but they have since got a new puppy (s**tzhu/bichon). She hated that puppy!
Isla tried to escape numerous times by running out through their gate into where their big dogs are (suicide, I know), leave with other neighbors and she pooped and peed all over their house. She rarely does that-only if she's sick. She also snapped at the puppy all week and refused to play with her dog-friend she knows.
I felt so bad for both her and our neighbors who had to endure this *itchy dog all week! I don't know if I'll ever get to leave again. It also makes me think we won't ever be able to get another puppy in the future.
