[nagdu] Home alone

[Daryl Marie]

Tracy,
Wow, you don't do anything halfway, do you? LOL  We worked up to leaving Jenny alone, starting from 30-minutes and then gradually working up to 4-5 hours.  It sounds like you have good ideas of leaving the bone in the crate and the TV on.  Can you leave some water in the crate?  I find if I leave Jenny alone, she will likely drink it.
Seriously, sending happilywell-behaved-doggie thoughts to Krokus!
