Background: my MIL goes away with her BF for 2+ Weeks at a time and leaves her dog home alone. She has an elementary school girl come over once a day to feed the dog. Otherwise the dog is alone for weeks at a time. She is usually gone 2+ weeks on a trip and then will be home for a few days before leaving again. Is it just me or is this awful? I feel so bad for this dog, I want to do something but I know it would ruin my relationship with MIL.
