Also I try to leave brand new toys and have the person watching them give them a new toy every few days, this way they have something new to perk them up throughout the period I am gone. I am going again in June and this time I will be gone for three weeks, this will be the longest either one has ever been left.
Is there a special food that Pnut really likes? like boiled chicken, or some type of canned food? If so you could leave some of this and have it mixed with his other food to try and entice him to eat. If not, you may want to consider leaving nutrical or Karo syrup on hand and make sure DH knows the signs to watch for regarding low blood sugar.
Does Pnut ever go to doggy daycare? If so it might be good to schedule a few sessions while you are gone, so he has something to take his mind off you not being around. |
Isnt is amazing how hard it is to leave them LoL!! Dh knows to give him Nutrical, so we are covered there, and he has some wet food here! I know Dh will try anything that he likes, If Pnut decides not to eat! Dh knows what to watch out for too with the low blood sugar, I havd DH well trained haha, he is Mommys boy but DH loves his Daddy too!
Day care is a good idea, but with DH workin he might not be able to pick him up, Dh will be working pretty much all day until about 8pm and the daycare is 7am to 7pm, so I will tell DH if he can make it work to drop Pnut off at daycare on Sat, then Pnut wil be pretty sleepy and worn out too!! I'll also tell Dh to take him on a walk too an extra long one!!
I know DH will take care of him, that was another thing I was stressed if Dh was able to go, I was stressed with who I was going to leave Pnut with!! At least he will be home with his Daddy! I just hate the feeling of Pnut looking for me, it breaks my heart.
