(51,585 posts)I would never do that to her...possibly make her an orphan. She gets sad if I am gone an hour. It would kill her too if I died or was gone a month.
That is why I responded as I did, I am a dog person. Also, as a former teacher I have permanent health issues due to many years in an unhealthy environment at work and can't work anymore and am on disability due to it. Believe me, it isn't worth it. My school district did nothing until I brought my union in and they got the moldy building destroyed (the school district gave me a can of Lysol). My environment had tons of germs and I was sick 90% of the school year after the moldy room hurt my lungs and immune system. Do NOT become like me at first. Stay home for your health and your dog's sake too if you don't have a union (which it sounds like you don't).
