Cali is the first dog I have had since no longer working. I am so attached to her that I hate leaving her. I take care of my elderly parents and usually I am gone no more than 2-3 hours at a time. I start getting worried any longer than that. Last week I had to take them for dr appt and tests an hours drive away so I was gone 6 hours. They were only alone a couple of hours at a time as my dtr came home between work and school and stayed with her for an hour then 2 hours later my husband came home, but I was so nervous. It was kind of strange because when I got home she had had the worst bloddy diaharrea that I ended up taking it to the vet for tests. I know it most likely had nothing to do with my being gone that long but I felt bad. |
