Is $12.50 for 4 hours too much to pay for

Good Luck, but I think $12.50 isn't too bad

Hahaha! We can always tell when it's payday there, the parking lot is packed, the line is forever. Once we had to wait in a 5minute line just to get to the registers And it always turns into an evening event when we go, LOL.

Doesn't sound like very much to spend for peace of mind. Have fun shopping

[chachi]

I think thats a good price

Here in Raleigh, North Carolina, the going rate is about $25 for a half hour visit. I'd say you got a deal!

OK I don't take mine in places where there is food so I don't advocate that, but I'd make an exception for an 8 week old. I just wanted to comment because I had a hoodie on Sam the other day and I had her in my coat with her hood on and people totally thought she was a baby... So stick a hoodie or a onesie on him and people will just think you have a baby :-)

To the point though, our local petsitter charges $15 for a walk/visit.

Last month I went on payday and it was a disaster The line practically went around the store, it took me a good 30 min. just to get to the regirster, then there was a rude lady blocking everyone talking on the phone I will never go to the commissary on payday, it's bad enough that it's always packed but on payday it's worse .

But you can always tell when it's payday because all the stores are packed

LOL!! I know all about the commissary on payday. I spent 4 years AD in the AF and hubby is still in as a Air Traffic Controller. We usually plan our trips right before or a few days after

yeah its harsh out there on the 1st and 15th lol. the line extends to the back of the store I usually wait 3-4 days after payday or before... You def spend less though and it makes it all almost worth the pain. I went to stater brothers the other day because it was on our way home, we bought a few things for dinner that night and breakfast to hold us over until we had time to go to the commissary and we spent $150 on just a few bags, I was like, what in the world did we buy?

[Baby Madeleine]

I think you're getting a good deal

[yorkiegirl83]

I think that is a great price actually

[Peters]

maybe the local vet could keep your baby

I think your little one will be fine left alone for a couple hours while you're at the commissary, mine always have been and I have two. (I find it you get right there when the commissary opens at 9am you can get in and out fairly quickly). Just make sure to tire him out a bit before you go and he'll probably sleep the entire time.

Do you have an Xpen to put him in with some food/water, toys and pads? He needs to learn you won't always be there every minute and he is going to have times where he's by himself.

I'd say a neighbor who would charge you to watch a puppy is obviously not a friend so therefore I wouldn't consider leaving my puppy with a paid stranger. I'd feel better leaving him home alone in his Xpen to sleep and play with his toys.
