I'm home a lot and when I do leave it's only for a few hours at time. The times I have been gone of up to 6 hours, when I come home Gracie is shaking and very distressed. She doesn't understand it. So I try to take her with me when I am going to be gone for several hours at a time. The dog I had before her was used to being home alone while we were gone during the day. It's hard to change something they have become used to. |
