Hi, everyone. I need your help. As some of you might remember I have been keeping Lexi in my bathroom while I am at work. When I am at work she likes to dig at my wall (only in one spot) and at the door frame next to the spot. Here are some pictures of it.
I thought of putting her in the kitchen but I am afraid she will do the same thing there. I also thought of getting an exercise pen and putting it in my dining room. But I am afraid she will dig at the carpet. I live in an apartment so I can't have her damaging stuff. Until I figure something out Lexi is in her crate while I am at work. She doesn't really mind it. I think she sleeps the entire time.
OK now on to what I need help with. In Nov, Dec, and the beginning of Jan I will be working 10 hours a day 5, possible 6, days a week. I will be taking a manditory 1 hour lunch so she will only be in there for 5 hours at a time. I really don't want to leave her in there for that 50-60 hours a week. I was thinking of getting a excerise pen but a lady at the store told me they should only be used when you can supervise your pet. Is this true?
I also thought of doggy day care but I to look into the prices and see if there is even one close to me. I think I would only be able to afford one or two days a week.
My mom & dad said that Lexi could come and stay with them for a couple of weeks if that would help. So I am thinking of having her go for a week at the beginning of Dec and may another one at the end. It is going to be very strange at my apartment without her.
Sorry, to rample on but I am very worried about what I am going to do with her.
