Re: Fair or not?
I have two dogs and five cats and usually there is a family member home at any given moment. So the dogs have each other as well as the cats that are friendly with them. I think it depends on the dog but if you're going to be gone long hours better to get two to keep each other company.Re: Fair or not?
I had two dogs and have at times had to go down to London because of family illness and if one of them had had an accident then they were never scolded because it was our fault for being out for so long, they were company for each other, then one sadly died and poor Lucy was left on her own, but we still had to make emergency trips to London where Lucy could not be left out in the car. so what were we supposed to do we have no neighbors that we can call on at short notice should we have left our relative to die alone. I am against leaving a pet for long periods of time but sometimes there is nothing else you can do.Re: Fair or not?
Years ago, there was a young couple who lived in the same village as me and they were out at work most of the day. They would tie their Springer Spaniel up on a long rope in the back garden. One day the dog jumped over the fence and hanged itself.Re: Fair or not?

Is it fair? It sure ain't!Re: Fair or not?
Our dog was rarely left alone all day but was in a room alone at night. I think she was a happy dog.Re: Fair or not?
