Due to an unforseen change in circumstances- i'm having to return to work. I'm pissed off in many ways- but also wondering what on earth to do with our dogs??
We have 3- Rottweiler, Labrador and a Spaniel. All get on famously and adore each other. We have a very large pen out of the back- a big shed type kennel with beds for all them, it's heated in the winter/kept cool in the summer and they have lots of room to run about. It's rarely used at the mo- they are family pets (so kept indoors) and it was really built for if we all nip out for dinner, to the shops etc and not built in mind that they might be left there all day (although they are more than happy to go in there- in fact they often go and sleep in there when we leave the gates open)
Question is- would it be cruel to leave them there all day? I'm not sure, hubby said I need to stop being ridiclious- that they have each other for company, lots of toys and food, kept warm cold etc and that we can look into getting a dog walker for an hours walk each day. I'll be out for about 9 hours a day.
I'm fortunate that I have someone who will take all 3 dogs in ASAP so we just really need to make a decision.
Advice?
