BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I'm friendly with a vet who told me years ago that the week before the local summer holiday fortnight was the busiest time of the year for folk coming into the surgery to have their dogs put to sleep. Totally stunned me. But what I found even more alarming was his further revelation that quite a few of them would be back in year after year with another dog to have it put down...shocker eh? Cheaper to have it pts than board it in kennels for a fortnight... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jf1970 328 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 the wifes sister usually looks after them if i can't take them, i don't like doing it as she will feed them any old shiite and never excersises them, used to really annoy me and it would cause a bit of aggro between me and the wife, we now only go away for the week and i have the dogs meals all sorted into freezer bags before i go.

Paid 935 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 My mum stays over, and if she can't, i pay the nephew to stay over. Have payed a house sitter before, but he has a real job now he used to just sit on my comp smoking weed for £20 for 24 hours. Well worth it. Harder for me as just not dogs but pigs, ferrets, chickens, ducks and 7 fish tanks also need looking after. If you know some one you trust, who is out of work, a house sitter is my preferred choice.
