Im currently looking after dps dog while hes at work. Should be home in a couple of hours, ive had her since 7.30am this morning. Never had or looked after a dog on my own before. Obviously been around while dp has the dog though.
She requires a lot of attention, wants to play constantly and barks if you stop. I have some sort of stomach bug and feeling sicky and just want to lie down.
Ive discovered that if i leave her downstairs (she has food, water, bed and toys) and come upstairs, she seems to settle herself. She barked a couple of times and not heard anything since.
Before i went upstairs, i took her out for a walk, shes done the toilet and had a good bit of excercice.
Is this ok?? I feel a bit guilty that im 'hiding' upstairs lying down while shes downstairs on her own, but she does seem settled?
