It has been a long, long time since I have been on here. Zeus turned one in August!
Anyway, my husband and I split up a couple months ago. I moved into my sister's apartment temporarily and the apartment complex wouldn't allow Zeus to come. I am moving into my own apartment on the first and I am so excited to get Zeus back! Does anyone have any tips on making the move less stressful for him? He is going from a large house to a one bedroom apartment.
The last couple months he has been stuck alone in his kennel a lot because I am an hour away and my ex works a lot. He did bad at first. He wasn't eating well and chewed a gash in the skin above his hip. That has healed pretty well, but now my ex is complaining that he is pooping in his kennel despite having just spent 30-45 minutes outside. Please do not judge me for leaving him the last couple months. I had no choice. I went from being a stay at home mom and a student to having to hire a lawyer and find a job and a place to stay.
I am worried he has learned bad habits and I will have to retrain when I get him back. Grrrrr. Anyway, he is fixing to be as spoiled as I can afford. I work for Petsmart, so I get a discount on his supplies. My store also has a Petshotel, so he can come to work with me and go to "doggie day camp" on occasion. The moment I get him back he is going straight to the groomers and getting the works.
So, after all my rambling... does anyone have any tips on how to make this move as easy as possible for him?
Thanks!
