Dont Know What To DO! Usually my husband I work different shift so Andy is hardly ever left alone. Well Hubby is away for 3 weeks for the military( I got out of having to go on this trip) and I'm working full time. This week is especially hard because I work 16 hours go home for 9 come back for two more days of 10 hour shirft then come home for two days and go back for 3 more days of 16 hr shifts. I don't know what to do with Andy! Normally I would let my mama do the babysitting but she is sick with the flu real bad right now and I'm stressed at work because Andy is at home alone in his (very big) crate. (He does have a bed food water and newspaper in his crate) Any suggestion would help on making this easier 4 the both of us. |
Doggie daycare? Can a neighbor come let him out? |

I looked into doggy day care and not only is it mostly at the wrong hours but they also charge on avg 20 dollars a day and i don't know any of my new nighbors(we just moved 2 weeks ago) to trust them with him or a key to my place. |
Is your mom the only family around. A wife of someone in your husband's unit? Are you in military house or the economy? |
How old is Andy? |
Maybe you could put him in a small room with a baby gate so that he has more room (like the bathroom)....also leave somthing that you have worn in there with him so he has your scent around him while your gone...I used to do that with my Adelaide when i first got her! She would curl right up with my shirt on her bed! Maybe wee wee pads instead of Newspaper so you have something that absorbs unlike the newspaper......plus you can leave alot more food in a room than you can a crate.....you need two of those feeders that hold alot of food and water.... Just a thought! |
I'm in the unit too it is just anual training but I dont know any wives from my unit. And no we dont live on any basis we ng. he is 7 months and I thought about putting him the bathroom myself but wasnt sure if that was a good idea. but i will definently use the shirt idea he already likes curling up on my laundry....especailly the clean ones i just folded lol o and i have no other family |
I know it is hard leaving them for that long. Maybe your mom will get to feeling better so you won't have to leave Andy alone for the whole period. Good luck! |
