have to leave my puppy today !! hi everyone i have to go to work today from 11 until 7pm. This is the first day that no one is available to check up on her, take her out to potty etc. My partner will be home at 4.30pm so she will be have to be on her own for 5 and half hours :( I have a playpen for her with her bed, a potty pad, toys, food and water in it. She has gone into this at night time for the last week but still cries. I feel soo guilty and sad to do this. Is this ok? I will be worrying about her all day at work. Please some advice :confused: |
If you can, setup a webcam. I also work 4 days at week and one day a week at home and when I am at work, I start the webcam. It gives me a little peace of mind. Most of the day Brandi, just sleeps. When I first starting leaving Brandi in her crate, she hated it. She paced back and forth all day until I got home. She was up all day trying to figure out a way to get out. Now she is use to it and sleeps most of the day. I love that I can check on her. I check the webcam about once an hour for a few seconds or so, just to make sure everything is okay. If something was wrong, it would take me about 30 minutes to get home. The way I would know something is wrong is by the way she sleeps. She sleeps from 8 to about 10:30, then she gets up does a little barking, drinks a little water, plays a little bit, then back to sleep. She repeats this pattern throughout the day and every day she is in the crate. Any break in that pattern and I would be rushing home. |
A webcam sounds like a great idea. What kind do you have and how do you watch it when you are out? Do you just log on to a site? Thanks! |
