How long have you ever left your furkids alone

I spent 9 1/2 hours in St.louis Friday and when I got home, Dexter wanted to be held and give me kisses before he went outside to go pee.

We don't use pads so I know he really had to go.

How long have you ever been gone without someone to watch your furkids without some one checking on them or taking them somewhere

7 1/2 hours, Cody is an outdoor potty boy. I do leave a pad down for him but he has never used it, he waits for me to come home. I have to cuddle and give him kisses before he settles down, then out to the yard we go.

The humans in my house suffer separation anxiety, so my Yorkies have spent very little time alone.

We left Max alone for 1 hour when he was a puppy. Then a few years later, my dad was in the hospital and I left the boys home alone for 1 to 2 hours a couple times a day for a week. They seemed to know it was an emergency and took it very well. I videotaped them and was able to see that they just laid in their beds by the door.

I always wondered what my little boy did while I was away

Usually 7-8 hours total during the work weeks. They go to doggie daycare 1-2 times a week. I have had an emergency or very rare times where they've been left for 8-11 hours... This was far from idea but they survived (I always leave water down and dry food if it'll be longer than 8 hours).

I've been gone up to a 13 hours. Emma is left in a crate, she was ready to go out for sure, but there were no issues.

Mine stay home between 8-9 hours. Casie can't hold her pee so she is pee-pad trained. Scottie waits to potty outdoors when I'm home.

I've watched mine at work when I initially started leaving them home alone and free to roam. They don't do much except sleep. Makes me jealous...

Maximo, I totally suffer from separation anxiety! Too bad I can't work from home. I've been trying to be creative lately and hoping one day....someday!!

Don't ever leave your precious Yorkie alone in your car. Someone sees that dog breaks the window and takes him. Then sells him. NEVER leave them. Too dangerous. Just a run to the store and your dog could be taken

Longest I think one day was around 10-11 hours. That's not the norm.

I try not to leave him longer than 6 hours.

Hi Sandy,

We're all talking about how long we leave them at home. Definitely agree about the car!
