dog people come on in
I adopted my parents pooch and she is adapting rather well. I am wondering if i should board her Sat-sunday because of the number of people we are expecting on Sunday (can be anywhere from 15 - 70) My main issue is there will be a lot of kids, and I don't want folks feeding her people food (sensitive stomach). I already had issues with his mom when i asked her not to pick up the dog at the dining room table and she proceeded to do so repeatedly.
J says she will be ok and enjoy the "attention". I want to agree but not sure and don't need her freaking out. Any thoughts for this first time dog lady would be greatly appreciated.
sometimes all you really need in life is a pink wig.
Re: dog people come on in
How long did your parents have her for? Do you know how she is with people and kids?
The transition can be tough on any dog. Then to throw in the kennel, might be tough on her. Also, if you've never boarded her before, they require some of paperwork and clearance of vaccinations through your vet.
She probably will enjoy the attention at the party is right. Maybe an older kid that you can have them be "in charge" of the dog. Maybe pay them $10 and ask them to make sure she gets taken out, and not allow anyone to feed her. Kids might totally enjoy this, and gives them a chance to yell at the adults
I'd keep her at the house. As a mom to two pups, no matter what you ask people, there are those who will just spoil them, feed them. Just like kids.
Good luck at your party!
I love the idea of an older kid being in charge! Thank you so much.
FWIW she was with my parents for 6 years.
my vote is to keep her home
i agree that putting her in the kennel after being with you for a short time would be hard on her and probably confuse her. The idea of putting an older kid in charge is great! Def pass the word that you dont want her being fed, some people will respect it and others wont. The more you expose her to, the better she will get overtime.
so glad it went well!
