Did you practice leaving him alone for increased periods of time at the school? I would agree with Lisa. Maybe you will have to take your chances and take him to the game or this time sit it out and plan to have someone watch him for the next one. If it was theater I would probably take him; not sure that I would to this game, but remember, you and I are different people. Maybe you have the confidence that he would be OK. I have experience that wouldn't allow me to take even my old dog at this point.

What it be OK to leave him home for so long this soon after we got home? Normally when we go to football games, we are out for 5 to 6 hours at a time. Also, we have no one that can watch him while we’re gone.
