Might I offer a suggestion. I have a yorkie and maltese. When I have to leave and know I will be gone for longer than 4 hours, I make arrangements for someone to come in and check on one or both. Since you know that it will take you several hours when buying dog food, maybe making arrangements with someone ahead of time to check on them. It would give you peace of mind to know they are being checked and when you come home, you won't have potty messes to clean. |
