He cannot go through the night. He has to go out. We just got him, he's ten, so we don't know what is his condition and what is his habit. He wants to be held constantly and we have because we don't know if it is pain from the surgery, or if his owner who died just sat all day. Or, is he just scared, grieving ..... we just don't know.
We are retired and home a lot, but not all the time. I have therapy dogs, belong to a quilting guild, have seven grands. So far we haven't left him alone at all. I want to go to some activities and shopping some times. Will I be able to, sometime? |
How kind of you to rescue this senior. In terms of seniors and night time calls of nature my senior boy who we referred to as iron bladder needs now to go out two or three am.
It will take time to know your boy, remember he has just lost his beloved companion. And yes you can go out especially as it sounds like two of you at home. In fact maybe take him with you on short jaunts.
