I usually work an 8 hour shift at this little coffee shop on base so i cant exactly come home for lunch, but my usual shift is from 1-9pm so my husband is usually home by 6 so its not like she is alone for very long really. even that day that all of this happened, my husband was home all day long, she wasnt alone at any time. |
It's really not the length of time she's alone that you have to worry about but how often she's eating. Even healthy animals & people can only go so long without food & they can have a hypoglycemic attack. She needs to eat at least 3 times a day if she's tiny so that her system can stay powered & not run out of juice. Just like people dogs can forget to eat so someone needs to be paying close attention to her food intake throughout the day , not just that she's eating but eating at appropriate times.
