leave dog alone

[mirela]

hi, i just back to work from last week, so i have to leave my puppy alone at home, she is 6 months now. i do 6 hours each day and plus traveling, so the dog will be alone at home about 7 hours. i pay dogsiter to take her walk half hour lunch time. and if im doing full day shift ocassionally, i ask dogsitter to visit twice a day, moring and afternoon. just wana know until how old the dog is, i can leave her alone for 6 or 7 hours without gettiong a dogsitter?

mirela,
Wasn't having a go at you. The answers from jimee99 was so typical of gravy having a joke.
I empathise with your plight about the dog. I hate leaving mine. I have a Westie and as my Hubby is in hospital just now, I have to go leave Misty this afternoon. I am dreading it. She hates being left.
Still think it is gravy having us all on. x

So much for poor dogs being left at home alone. One of my dogs sneaked upstairs onto my bed at 8.30am today and hasn't come down since! She thinks this has gone unnoticed as the bedroom is usually out of bounds. She obviously doesn't care whether I am there or not.

Hello. I did not mean to be critical as I know you were asking for advice, but I stand by what I say and that is the dog does not grow to any age and can be left alone, as a dog is a pack animal. In response to the person who said something about people having dogs on the dole, well I take my dog to work with me every day and have only ever had jobs where I could do this.

In fact I now have a criminal record as the dog warden came past my work one day and decided to ticket me for the local bylaw of "dog off a lead" offence while she sat in the garden waiting for me to load my car. There is no winning sometimes with animals.

You become an easy target for scorn when you own a dog. Like a checkout girl or British Rail if yo know what I mean. You have to get to know your dog. I'm sure you will come to realise if you love your dog enough what is right or wrong for them. xx
