I'm actually totally stumped and stressed about the situation. There will be another new dog there too, my bf's brother's gf's dachshund rescue who is elderly and frail. Luma can't control herself around new people. She has potty accidents, barks, whines, runs around and jumps on everyone. We've tried everything...we usually end up having to leave her in a crate at my bf's dad's house while we all go next door to his grandparent's. |
If you have a good place you trust to board her, I would. She has no idea it is a holiday and would probably prefer a place that gave her some peace and quiet over the stress and possible injury of the little dog at the grandparents' home. You can check on her as necessary, have them Instagram pix or watch her on livecam with some of the places that board. You can make it all up to her with a "Luma Weekend" the next weekend and cater to her every whim complete with a visit to the pet store and some wowie new toys and indulging all her wants at home. It will probably be easier for everybody and she'll be tucked in safe from an aggressive, territorial little toot who doesn't want to share its people or home or the older dog who could be crotchety. A stressed dog is one who might take any chance to dart out the door or get pancreatitis or have any number of unpleasant things go wrong.
