Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I have posted anything, life has kept me extremely busy lately. Anyways, in about two weeks I will be starting a new job which will require me to be away from home for 4 days, then I will be home for 3 days. Right now I work at a job Monday-Friday and it is 10-15 minutes away from home. I will be staying with family for the 4 days away from home. My mom offered to let me bring Pixie along, but my dad is NOT animal friendly at all, and therefore wants Pixie locked up in a crate all day long. Hubby and I decided it is the best decision to keep Pixie home because he is used to being free to be wherever he wants be at home and has never been locked up. Hubby will be caring for him when I'm gone for the 4 days, then I will care for him for the 3 days I am home. Right now Pixie and I have a schedule that we follow everyday, and he has a meltdown if there is any changes. I have been thinking of ways to help make this transition easier, like leaving my grey sweater that he loves cuddling with on the couch while I am away, hoping my scent will bring some comfort. How do you think hubby and I can make this transition easier? Thank you everyone in advance.
