since we've seen Piper and its killing me waiting to pick her up!

It's mine and OH's 7 year anniversary today and we went into London yesterday to see a play (Belles Strategem, AWESOME play) and then to Gaucho's for a meal. As we would be out all day Piper has gone to her 'second home' (friends parents who adore her and look after her if she is left more than 4 hours). We are meant to be picking her up later today as she loves it there but I really want to get her now as the house is too quiet!!

What's the longest you can cope without your dogs??

im rubbish and miss my lot if im out even for a day

im going on the of camp friday till sunday and not taking them so will be busy stealing everyone elses dogs that are there. ive bought mine some special treats for while im away too so they dont miss me too much (in reality probably not at all coz they will still be with the kids )

i must admit i can go on holiday i think about them and miss them dearly i talk about them everyday
but i still enjoy my holidays, as i know they are well looked after

We have never really left our dogs only for some shopping trips.

I couldn't go on holiday and leave Dillon, we always took Amber to France with us, and will do the same with Dillon when he's a bit older.

Hope you do not mind my honest opinion but, Do you not think this is over involvement being unable to leave a dog? Iambic sure it's good for you or the dog if you can never leave them. Independence is a key skill dogs need to develop surely to be well rounded pets?

If i was unable to leave the dog, I wouldn't have left her. As i clearly stated she went to friends as we would be out all day and that is not fair on her to be locked up all day. I said that the house felt empty without her running around. As it was, we went to pick her up at 3.30 and she was up the field playing with the horses and their other dog, having tired out their 10 week old puppy - does that not sound like a well rounded pet???

If you don't mind my honest opinion, you seem to have a real issue with people caring for their dogs, as you tend to think they are just animals?
