[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 59883, member: 2211"] I would definitely look into finding a foster family for pup while you're gone. In a pet friendly environment, she will be able to run around, play and be loved like she were part of the family. When we leave for a few days, we pay a local kid to play and walk and feed our pups, but if it's for more than a few days, we take them to a nearby kennel that we love. They love our pups and give them preferential treatment and let them roam freely for some hours a day. My biggest worry is that we'll have severe thunder and lightening storms and the pups will be alone in the house - they get so scared and literall climb into bed with us when this happens. Without us there they'd be really scared and I'd feel awful. In a perfect world, all pups would get along and be allowed to go everwhere with their families. I do have to admit, however, I am deathly allergic to most dogs, so if someone with a shepard was in the room prior to me, I would likely wind up in the hospital. So we generally stay where no pets are allowed. Would a portable pen work at your sister's home? Or if your pup were on a long enough lead to be with family members, say on the patio, yet still tied, would she still whine and bark? As long as she is with family, she should be okay, don't you think? Good luck! [/QUOTE]
