I'm looking for a bit of advice regarding what to do in my current situation...
I got my cocker Ollie 3 years ago when I was living at home with my parents. We already had our other dog, Keira. Ollie is my dog, I bought him, took care of him, trained him etc. When I moved out a few months back, I decided it would be unfair to take Ollie as he has always lived with Keira and has never been left in the house alone without another person or dog.
Now, 6 months later, I am regretting this decision. I miss him a lot and feel really guilty that I've left him. I also feel my parents don't take him out enough (some days he just goes in the garden) and consequently when I take him out he is back to pulling on the lead. He has also put on quite a bit of weight. He currently sleeps at my house around twice a week but he is never really very settled as he knows it's not his home.
I'm unsure what would be best for him. Would he be better off staying with me and getting more walks/attention, but being left on his own for a few hours a day? Or should I leave him where he is with his best doggy friend?
Any advice is welcome!!
