No, I'm not getting rid of my precious Bella... but starting Monday, I go back to work full time after having about a year off.
When I got Bella at the end of February, I didn't think I'd be going back to work (full time, during the day) anytime soon. But an opportunity has arisen and I don't want to pass it up.
I've been home all day w/Bella since I got her so for almost 3 mths now...
VERY seldom has she been home alone... only on weekends when we (my BF, and daughter) go out to eat, or shopping. So... this will basically be the first time she'll be alone all day...
I'm unable to come home during the day (same w/the BF) because we work too far away...
Bella is doing well w/potty training. She's about 85/15 and the 15% usually occurs somewhere in close vicinity of the pad.
I feel soooo bad tho... she's use to me being here all day... we lounge around in bed all morning (after we get my daughter off to school) she follows me everywhere...
I've tried leaving a few times in the past couple weeks to try to get her use to me leaving, and when I leave, she's staring out the window (sadly) and when I return an hour later, she's still there starting sadly out the window...
We can't get another puppy because we already have 3 cats (one she plays w/constantly) and a turtle and a fish. BF says ENOUGH!
I'm just soooooo nervous. I know there have been alot of threads posted about having to go back to work, and I don't think my situation is any more unique then anyone else's... but I just wanted to "vent".
