All of these posts about leaving Cavaliers alone has me worried. I knew when I got Ella, they are people dogs so I took her to day care or would leave her with another Cavalier.
This past year has changed with surgery, SM, etc. and she does not need to go to daycare. I don't want her to have that much activity. She doesn't like it anyway. My friend that I would leave Ella with her cavalier Kennedy, I stopped since her eye and because of other things. She would not see anything wrong with Ella and thought it was me and she was depressed. So I am over pretective. I don't want her running around too much but she does need to have fun. I am now thinking I should start to let her and kennedy stay together.
I work but go home for lunch. She is not left in a crate (already been crate trained) and is free to roam but usually stays on the couch with her puppy stairs and watches animal planet.
Kennedy is her age and not very active because if he was I know that would not be best. Do you think I need to change? She is a very social girl and that is due to day care. Sometimes too much, but she loves to be around others so maybe I need to not have her be by herself for 3 or more hours.
I think I pretty much know the answer but I do think it depends on the day. If she is not doing good, she will want to be by herself. When we do meet ups she will be social but then sometimes, will go get in a kennel to protect herself.
