My little Morkie stays home from 8:30-3:30 while I am away at work. I have some family members say that’s too long for him to be alone and to get another dog for him to have a buddy, or take him to daycare.
He has food and water, toys, a pee pad for emergencies. He’s on Ativan to help calm him, I put Pokémon or some sort of kids show on the TV, he’s got a window to look out of and a big couch with blankets to lay on. He also has a cat who sits with him on the couch. He is non destructive- he’s never chewed anything, scratched, destroyed etc. Honestly, he is an angel.
He goes out in the morning and then I take him a big long walk or to the park as soon as I’m home, then he hangs out with me for the rest of the evening.
How long do you keep your dogs home by themselves and do you feel guilty about it? From my knowledge, not everyone can be home 24/7 with their animals or afford daycare. I also do not have money, ability (in my rental) nor time to get another puppy yet somehow feel bad 🙁
