She is coming out of it. Her swelling is down. when the boy came over, he barely even sniffed her. I'm no longer worried about it

Thank you Walt. Calling rover is good advice. I am going to get her fixed. I have not had the money. This stay would make it possible. I'm going to talk with the owners about it when I talk with them today.

I'm going to get them fixed. I just have not had the money. M a single mom of three and this is my main source of income. I was praying that she would not have her first one until after this stay.

My puppy just went into heat for the first time. I have a client who booked several weeks ago coming tomorrow. One of his 2 dogs is an intact male. I could really use some advice as to if there is any possible way to make this work? Can I keep the two apart somehow, and if so, how do I tell the client about my dog?

They did end up paying in the end. :)

They still have not. I sent another message to them. Then I spoke to Rover. They said to wait until the owners come to pick him up, and talk to the owners about it. If they still do not pay, then they want me to call them and let them know.

thank you!

Thank you! That is very helpful. I sent something like that to them, and I actually called rover earlier tonight. They said that if they have not paid by the time they pick him up, to call them back. They said that they would help. :)

I sent them a message asking them to confirm. They said yes, they will be here tomorrow afternoon to pick him up, but still have not paid. :( I guess I will see what they do. Good to know that rover will help.

They have been less than honest with me from the beginning. I think they just don't want to play for another day. They are supposed to pick him up today. Is there nothing I can do? They can just short me a day's pay like that?

I don't plan on continuing it anyways. These people are just horrible! They have been dishonest and hard to communicate with since the beginning. Their dog is completely untrained, and a nightmare to deal with too.

I just had an owner tell me that they will pick up their dog the day after they are supposed to. They said that they are getting into town late, so they will pick him up the next day at noon. I was not happy, but I sent a request to extend the stay. I have heard nothing from them. Maybe I'm just worrying too much, but what happens if they don't pay? Or if they show up at my door late at night? I'm not sure how to handle this.

Thank you! :)

He is doing better. He is still a lot of work. I'm even more convinced that he has never been trained at all. I could see the lights go on when he figured out that I wanted him to potty outside! I will never let my need for money override my gut feeling again! I have learned a lot.

What irritated me was that I told them that food was not included.

Thank you for the response. I have been keeping him separate part of the time. Gates didn't work, and keeping him in a separate room is horrible. Nothing will stop his howling. Things are going a bit better now though. I have learned a lot from this!

I don't have a crate, but I have him separate. Things are going a bit better now. I have learned a lot from this. Thank you for your response.

I took in a 5 month old husky for ten days. I normally do not take larger dogs, because I live in an apartment. The owner was desperate, so I agreed. I don't think that the owner was not very honest with me. It very quickly became clear that this dog doesn't come inside. He has no manners, and it goes way past normal puppy behavior. He also makes a puddle on the floor every half hour, and acts like he has no clue that he did anything strange. He has gotten aggressive with my little dogs and I'm afraid he might hurt them. The most concerning is that he just growled and nipped at me a minute ago.

I had to tell the owner to bring some food when they dropped him off. They brought 2 days worth. It's gone now. So is the months worth that I had for my little dogs. I sent a message to the owner asking if they had someone who could bring over more, or if they would like me to pick some up, and they could pay me back when they pick up their dog. They have not responded. I'm not sure what to do. I'm really irritated by the whole thing, and wish I had not taken him.

Any advice?
