We have a 5 year old pug cross shittzu. We have had her 4 years when we took her in following her previous owner sadly dyeing.
At that time I was still with my husband and he took responsibility for most of the walks etc.
Fast forward to now and I am now separated and trying to continue caring for our dog alongside having two primary school aged children and working full time. I have a cat flap in the back door so she can come in and out but I am feeling increasingly sad about how much time she is having to spend alone during the day. We leave the house at 8.30 and are not back in till 5.30. Several evenings the children have hobbies, same on weekends.
I have had a friend of a friend say she could take her in, give her a good home, be in during the day with her etc.. I have talked to the children and they got upset and started crying, said I could not possibly give our dog away. I feel so torn, we love her so much but would she be happier somewhere else? Any advice welcome
