Help, I'm in an overwhelmed anxious mess!
Brought home gorgeous chilled greyhound. She's currently asleep in her bed - I'll make sure I take her out in about an hour for a last wee she's already had two wees in the garden and a big sloppy smelly poo.
Rescue said best to start as mean to go on so I should sleep in my bed and let her sleep where she flops . I've tried her with the stairs but she's absolutely not having it so she will have to sleep downstairs. I've got a camera I can put on in the room she prefers. I was advised to close the door to the stairs in case she tries in the night and is unsafe but she would then have access to all of downstairs including kitchen .
I'm absolutely terrified of leaving her alone but she also seems already Velcro and I don't want to store up problems for later
Should I go up , leave camera on and hope she wakes me if issues. Her bed she likes best isn't her crate. She went in her crate for a bit earlier with lickimat but definitely prefers bed in lounge . Or should I give her a bedtime biscuit in crate and shut it?
Also when she was out with dc in garden earlier she ate something but they didn't see what so I'm worrying now !
See: anxious mess!
Any advice really appreciated
