Thank you both so much! I had Monroe at an in-home pet sitter/groomer/daycare once who just did Yorkies (perfect right?!). I left Monroe there for 4 nights while I was on a cruise and I had the worst feeling that something had truly upset her when I got her home... for the first time she was skittish around my feet and dropped her head in fear when I dropped a towel on the ground. This strange behavior lasted about a week and although I hate to think anything bad happened I knew she wasn't "normal"... anyway, long story short I decided I would only leave them at a place that had cameras or at the breeders house since I know she loves them like a grandma haha.
I talked with the doggie daycare staff, who I know pretty well, and it seems there is one larger size dog that was playing a little to rough with the small ones. It sounds like this pup won't be there anymore. I had them there one additional day last week and Rylee seemed better. Today she playing like normal... I'm going to keep an eye on it closely. It does seem like they've made some changes since it was discussed last week. So, we'll see!
I'm glad to hear you don't think it's awful leaving them in the x-pen while I'm at work. I am hoping someday they'll stop being such puppies and be able to stay out in the kitchen/living room while I'm gone... we shall see!
Thanks again for your awesome input & help!!! :-) |
