First of all I want to say that everyone here has been so helpful. This is my first puppy and I love her dearly. She is a small size pup...will be 10 pounds or so. There will come a time I know when I won't be able to take her with me and will need to board her. We have a very nice boarding facility near us and I trust them to care for her. I have no family to leave her with so that is not an option. Have any of you ever had to board a puppy? If so, for how long. Is a week too long if I were to go on a vacation (she would probably be a year old when I would do that). I do take her to the boarding facility once a month for the day just to play and have fun with the other dogs and she seems to love it. I guess it is more just ME.....I would feel so guilty leaving her. AGGGHHHHHH Will she still love me if I had to leave for say a week????? This is really bothering me...can you tell???? I have left her crated for an hour or so to go grocery shopping and no accidents in the crate at all. Do you think 3 hours would be ok to leave her if I wanted to say, go play 18 holes of golf? Geez, when I retired I guess I didn't consider a tiny puppy would capture my heart so much and tie myself up in little knots!!! Thanks for input/advice/ a hug????:wave:
OH, by the way she is 4 months old now and knock on wood...house trained and a joy!
