So 2 days into a week long holiday abroad.
Have employed a dog sitter to have our 8 month old pup in our house for the week, which incidentally costs a fortune.
I was promised that they wouldn’t leave the dog for more than 4 hours a day, usually split into 2 or 3 episodes.
I don’t think they realise we have cctv outside our house, and feeling very worried I checked the camera.
They left her for 3 hours this morning, 2 hours this afternoon and it’s been 2 hours already this evening and still no sign of them.
My puppy is usually left a maximum of 3 hours perhaps 3 times a week. Certainly not 7 hours in a day.
My friend just popped in to drop something off (she has a spare key) and has found the dog in a state. She’s chewed some chunks out of a door (which she has never done previously) and ransacked my house, probably out of boredom. Think cushions pulled off the sofa, rugs scrunched up.
I’m not very happy but feel awful as they’ll know I’ve spied on them if I mention it.
In their defence they have taken her for 3 walks today, 30 minutes each time, but she is not used to being left and now I’m on holiday and can’t relax and feel really guilty.
My friend can’t have her for me as she’s got a dog of her own that is dog reactive and a small child herself.
Wish I’d used kennels now as I know I’ll be checking the cctv all week.
