RE: What my dog does when I leave home - AnimalFamily - 01-05-2015 Payne is seldom alone for long periods. There is almost always someone coming or going as you said, Tobi. As a matter of fact we make it a point to [almost] never spend the night away from home, even if it means travelling very late. Too many critters here depend on us being around. Catherine: what kind of dog do you have at the reptile centre? Tobi: Do you still have your online business? I hope it was successful for you. We are looking at a few different things to do online. I would love to be able to work from home. It is so much more practical and very cost effective if you can make it work! RE: What my dog does when I leave home - Tobi - 01-05-2015 Yes I still have my business, though it has changed. I started it in 2007 for my dog's sake! So that I could spend time outside with her and didn't have to leave her. I made herbal tinctures. That business did quite well. I supplemented it by selling other things on ebay. I couldn't have supported a family on it but me and my doggy could stay alive with few worries (except horribly hard work right into the night many a time). Then in 2010 legislation changed, and all my products would need Lab. testing (that is -testing by Laboratory -not Labrador! lol) That would have cost me about £24,000. I closed it down, sadly and immediately opened a dried herb business instead. That has not done as well, but still exists. RE: What my dog does when I leave home - Catherine - 01-05-2015 That is too bad about your business. Sometimes the laws are changed to make life more difficult for us. I doubt it makes anyone safer. I can't believe how expensive the testing would have been. I wish I could stay home with my animals. I made a point of being home and being with them for my Birthday. I wanted to do that. When I can qualify for a pension I will happily be at home for more hours of the day. We will all love it. Daisy dog had a Maltese(cross?) for a father and her mom, Dahlia was a Shih Tzu mix(maybe poodle). She was the little runt of the litter and she is still tiny, but she is so funny and loveable. It is the dream life for a dog. RE: What my dog does when I leave home - LeonilCraig - 05-06-2015 Sorry to hear about your business, usually if we leave our dog at home they are sad and lonely and it hurts me to think of that. RE: What my dog does when I leave home - Catherine - 05-07-2015 I would think that having two dogs would help. They would be company for each other and they could play together. It must be very boring and tedious for a dog to be home alone. |
