Awww, poor Princess. I know what you mean about feeling guilty. Luckily my schedule is lax right now but I've had time periods where he is left alone more often, or not exercised enough, and I'll feel terribly guilty. It doesn't happen often now but I know in the future it will.... I plan on doing doggy daycare probably in the future as there are so many options around here...
But as for things to do... what about a Kong? You can stuff canned food in it, freeze it, and it keeps Jackson entertained for a while. When he was on the RX food, I would put the kibble in it and the canned food to 'seal' it and he enjoyed that. I still do this with his new food. When it's frozen, it lasts a while. I like to keep two or three of them in the freezer for quick access.
Jackson won't mess with anything while I'm gone though usually. Even if I leave 100 bully sticks out, he wouldn't have touched them, lol. He just won't chew/play with things while I am gone and has always been that way. |
