But Lucy's such a sweetie that I've already got no fewer than two families willing to watch her for me (of course, this may be because she's a small puppy- things might change when she gets older) but eventually I will do the doggy day care thing. One that I found so far opens after I have to be at work and closes before I get off haha. The search continues! |
Hypoglycemia is not something to brush off not only can it kill your dog if no one is home to see the symptoms but my 17 pound adult had issues with it so size doesn't matter. Since it sounds like your pup is from a pet store and pet stores get there puppies from puppy mills I would make sure to get pet insurance and get one that covers genetic illnesses.
