Grr! Fortunately, he LOVED, LOVED going to the kennel. They took him for walks, he got to visit with other dogs, they gave him treats... <BR/><BR/>He was happy, loved, we saw no reason to "off" him just because it wasn't always convenient. He's probably better off with your roommate than with your mom and her boyfriend. Another option could be to have a pet nanny come check on him. We do that once or twice a day when we have an all day commitment -- holiday or family event...<BR/><BR/>Hope you have a great trip.

I am going to see if my mom would be willing to pick her up after work at 10am and drop her back off on her way back in at 2pm. At least her BF won't be home to bitch about her. That way Maggie won't be alone pretty much until I get home. I just hate that no one will be here to play with her and cuddle with her. It is breaking my heart!!!<BR/><BR/><3Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12354849302798817593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494278500717046387.post-5957704345798248362008-09-01T10:25:00.000-04:002008-09-01T10:25:00.000-04:00I too would be pissed.

I am sorry that you are having so many troubles to get care for your little dog...I wish that I could help. I pray that something works out in the end.

They learn and adjust, just like people. No one would want to put down Stevie Wonder, bitch, so no one should put down a dog just for being blind!<BR/><BR/>I hope you find someone to take care of your baby!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01946365965905039509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494278500717046387.post-45081189829161507872008-08-30T21:38:00.000-04:002008-08-30T21:38:00.000-04:00Oh boy Amy.

Yowsers, I'd be so upset over that too!!! <BR/><BR/>Do you have a kennel where you can take her while you're on vacation? We take our dogs to one when my mom isn't available or we don't want to bother her *again* with ours. It always works out well in a kennel, just more expensive then leaving them with my mom of course. <BR/><BR/>Shhhhh, don't tell Maggie your mom said that.CowTownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756130935907522719noreply@blogger.com
