Gracie has free run of the house so I don't feel too bad leaving her home when I go to the store or have appointments or something like that. She has a pee pad to use if I am gone longer than expected and she she is good with that. I do take her when I go visiting other people or am going to be gone for several hours.
I left her alone once when we were gone for about 7 hours and she was just so upset and crying when I got home so I won't do it again. She is a 5 pounder and travels well. It's just a little more difficult in the winter because I have to bundle her up before taking her outside. I warm up the car for her and make sure her coat is on snug. I feel like I have young kids again. I had to pack her sweater and socks, her food and water, her pee pads and she wore her harness and coat to go to Thanksgiving dinner. I don't know how you do it with 2 young ones and a fur baby. That is a lot to remember to pack! |
