I am sof far, capable of taking the dogs outside for a very short time. I can't crate them because I am faraid I will no t wake up. Now, for future times, what do you all do with your dogs that only have one or two people who can take care of them> I eed a plan for the future. I have never been in this situaion before. tahnsk, Jo Look! I DO fit in the bag.

I was more broken-boned than sick, but the results were similar.

My 'plan' is to have the dogsitter (a friend of mine who I trust with the dog) come and walk him. Maybe you could set alarms to wake you up when you fall asleep. Maybe start a schedule with 6 hr shifts of sleeping for you and crate time for them. While it is a big change to their schedule, dogs are adaptable (even old ones ).

Jo Harker Webboard User Reg: 10-24-2008 Posts: 921 Loc: Indiana Offline	Thanks. I don't know if we have dog walkers. Need to check. My main concern was no one can catch Hambone but me or my daughter. Everyone else he will come up to (if he is in the house) but will run away if they try to restrain him. Outside, no one but my daughter or me. And, Miss Lucy, right now, is handled only by me or Hanna. Mostly me. So, I need to train Hambone to allow someone else to "catch" him and as for Miss Lucy, hope training sets in. She will go to family now for a "scratch" on her pointy noggin, but then walks away, flops on the floor, and snores...it takes a lot out of her...:smile: Feeling somewhat better(relative to yesterday). The best news was Hanna and I staggered the days we became ill so at my worst she wasn't so someone fed and walked. Okay. Alarms are good. Dog walkers good. Thanks! Look! I DO fit in the bag.
