    Going out for a few drinks?

    I am a wreck. I have had Talyn for about a year, and for the first half of his life he was living in a house with a ton of people. Then I got a divorce and he came with me, and has since become the light of my life. I dote on him always. He is about a year and a few months old, and I have him in daycare twice a week, and then I take him to work with me the other 3 days. So basically hes never alone. I take him with me everywhere.
     
    Tonight however, I want to go out for a few drinks with some friends. I have become completely housebound since I moved in to my new place because I hate to leave him alone. I have left him when I go to work once or twice, and though he howls when I leave, hes usually asleep or silent when I get home. Is it going to scar him to leave him by himself? I make sure he has everything he needs, I just feel SO guilty going out! Someone give me permission to do this!

    Go out and enjoy yourself. But I understand how you feel. I work 4 days a week and both of my pups are crated. So once i get home, I refuse to go anywhere because I don't want to put them back in their crates. Besides they need mommy time too. But my husband always says I'm being silly because they sleep when I leave. They don't pine after me. But I got dogs because I love their company, so i want to be with them too. But do yourself a favor and go out! You deserve it!!!! Talyn will be ok for one night. Just give him extra treats before you leave. That's how I ease my guilt.
     
    Have fun tonight!
