[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've left our dogs for days at a time, and they were fine. These people are nuts. They have some desperate issues where they need to feel needed. The dogs will survive. That's what their coats are for.[/quote]

I'm happy your anectdote is applicable to all people. One of my dogs shivers like a leaf in the cold and has MAJOR anxiety, especially when left alone too long. She'd tear up my house in anxiety as the best case scenario here.

Different people have different prioties. Why TF do you care?[/quote]

You should crate her.[/quote]

So now I should leave her alone in a freezing house when she's terrified for 12 hour stretches in a crate for an unforseen amount of days? If any of the posters responding this actually have dogs, I hope someone reports you and they are taken away. Jesus. [/quote]

Plenty of busy professionals leave their dogs crated all day. [/quote]

There is a giant difference in leaving a dog crated while you are at work and leaving them crated for ~22 hours a day with no end in sight in a house that is 30 degrees. If you don't see that then why don't YOU try it out. [/quote]

Nobody said to leave them for 22 hours. Can you even read?[/quote]

You said to leave them in the crate during the blizzard and check on them 'once or twice a day.' And that I should crate her if she couldn't handle it. That might not be 22 hours straight  but how many hours are you checking on your dog in the blizzard while your house is freezing? You don't really seem like the type of person that would hang out with them more than absolutely necessary before prioritizing your comfort over your animals' mental health.[/quote]

OMG, now you're worried about your animals' "mental health."

This is getting really entertaining. Does your dog have a therapist?[/quote]

Do you have a dog? Or are you just effing with me?[/quote]

I have a dog. He is a pet, not a child. [/quote]

You have a dog and don't think dogs have any emotions? That they don't experience fear and anxiety? Truly?[/quote]

My dog does not have a mental breakdown from being alone in the house. I'm pretty sure yours won't either. You might. [/quote]
