Thank you guys for the nice welcome and thanks for the feeding info. I will start leaving her dry kibble out again while we are gone. As for coming by for lunch to check on her,there's no way I can because I work so far away. My hubby can check on her a couple of days a week as he works closer to home than I do. But having said that,he works with his family at a family owned business. It's not always easy for him to leave either. Especially on busy days. Some believe that if you own your business you can come and go as you please. That is nor the case. I know he will do what he can but there are 2 days per week for sure that she's alone all day. I keep her in a child's playpen with water and toys and a piddle pad at the opposite end of the pen. She uses that very well and is careful not to tinkle anywhere else. My other concern with us being gone is how she reacts when we come in at night. I'm sure she misses us but she is just sooo excited. She has an abundant amount of energy. On days I'm off from work (like today and yesterday) she is so calm. She will play but she likes to cuddle and sleep in my lap. Does this sound pretty normal? I got really lucky this week and got an extra day off to be with her and she's just been a cuddle bug. Which is totally fine with me. I just want assurance that nothing's going on with her. |
