So far it's ok, she probably get's a bit annoyed in there, but I'd rather that then have her get out! Whenever they come and go they leave the door WIDE open and sometimes when they finally close it, it doesn't latch and blows open! Can't wait for them to be done :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-dogs#post-1263387 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:58:22 +0000 Shutterbug 1263387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally understand... I only trust my mom with my pug! I would either put her in your bedroom (and leave the radio/TV on so she doesn't know what she's missing out there :) ) or put up a baby gate if your floor plan allows for it so she can have semi-run of the house without access to the door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-dogs#post-1263317 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:34:58 +0000 prettylizy 1263317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do the bedroom thing. Gives you some piece of mind that she is ok </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-dogs#post-1263292 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:28:45 +0000 lemondrop 1263292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely would keep them confined to at least a room while out- for doggie safety and for liability reasons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-dogs#post-1263280 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:24:15 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1263280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: no! :( I only leave them with family usually, and they are 3 hours away. Friends all work/my dogs are pains in the butt so I wouldn't want to burden anyone!! haha. I think putting them i the bedroom will work out ok.. fingers crossed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-dogs#post-1263278 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:23:20 +0000 Dandelion 1263278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have friends or family nearby that would doggy sit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-dogs#post-1263270 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:20:25 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1263270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all! I just went out quick to get the mail and put her in our room. She seemed fine! She is lazy so hopefully she just slept! There is a day care in town, but she is way to little to go. She would hate hate hate it. Our big dog would like it, so I might send him if there's a day he'd have to be locked up for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-dogs#post-1263250 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:07:26 +0000 Vegmama 1263250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely do a crate, dog daycare, or stick her in your room. </p> <p>We had this same situation recently, and even when I asked if our cat needed to be put away (they said no), they let him out in the freezing weather for over an hour. Even though they say they'll be careful, it's not their job to watch out for pets, and I think it gets overlooked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-dogs#post-1263152 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:46:23 +0000 Rescuemom10 1263152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have little dogs too. I just dont trust people with my fur kids. Unless they are family or friends. I would put in your room for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-dogs#post-1263110 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:37:53 +0000 pelikila 1263110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We kept our dogs crated when we had contractors in do remodel our bathrooms. They were fine. The contractors said they were quiet and content to watch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-dogs#post-1263100 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:35:54 +0000 Happygal 1263100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there a doggy day care that she would like? Otherwise, I would definitely leave her in the bedroom for her safety and peace of mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-dogs#post-1263062 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:27:10 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1263062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are having our basement finished finally! The drywalling is happening over the next couple of weeks. I work from home but am in and out a lot.</p> <p>I'm nervous about the dogs! The one is a pup so when I go out, he will be in his cage in our bedroom. The other usually just wanders the house. The guys coming said it was fine and they'd make sure she didn't get out.. but that's making me nervous! She's only 4 pounds and so little.. she could totally make a run for it if she wanted and they might not notice!</p> <p>Should I just stick her in our bedroom for the days when I'm out and she can be a little drama-dog in there and feel sorry for herself? What would you do? </p>
