since I brought my puppy home at 6 weeks she's practically by my side constantly, my fiance goes to work while I stay home she's never been home alone for more than like 4 hours a day. and I have to leave for 4 days to go dog sit for my mom and my fiance works from 5:45 a.m. till about 6 p.m. I just feel awful about having to leave her and she'll be alone. I usually wouldn't mind so much because we have another dog and they play constantly but right now she's in heat so they can't be together so she's really just going to be alone for several hours and breaks my heart.
