Though I love the doggie daycare that I send Bloo to, it’s starting to take a toll on my wallet. And to be honest I’ve had dogs my whole life and have never brought them to daycare while I worked.

There are many benefits to daycare however. I don’t have to worry about him during the day. I don’t have to rush home to let him out. He’s not lonely and he can’t get into anything. Not to mention, the daycare takes pictures of all the dogs on a daily basis. I have to admit, at lunch time I’m always looking for that picture of my little boy Bloo.

Well today, we are going to practice him staying home while I go to work (sorry Mr. Mailman). We’ll call this a trial run. Most likely I won’t stay the whole day at work since it is New Year’s eve. So I figured it would be a good time to get him used to me leaving him during the day.

He will guard the property, bark at everyone that walks by and most likely clean up ever morsel of anything edible on the floor.  He’ll be busy I’m sure.

Wish us luck.

UPDATE as of 3pm: When I got home today, Bloo was fine! He did great. He didn’t even go through the recycling. Good doggie!
