We’re looking after a neighbour’s muttley (as dd2 calls them) for just 3 days - another neighbour had her for the previous 3.
We didn’t really know her at all, so for at least the first 24 hours she just lay in her bed, very sad, wouldn’t eat or drink, wouldn’t go for a walk. I was really getting worried about her.

Thank goodness she’s perked up a bit this morning, has actually eaten her breakfast, is responding more, but still won’t go for a walk. She has access to the garden but I don’t think she’s pooed!
Thank goodness the owners are back tomorrow evening.

We’ve looked after a different neighbour’s dog before - he didn’t really know us either, but eating, drinking and walkies were no problem at all!

One of our previous young dogs had to have a complicated operation once.
The vet was keeping it in[cant remember if overnight or for a few days].
The vet assistant told us that the dog would not eat, even "fresh chicken".
I went into the vets.
It was feeling very sorry for itself.
I had to whisper sweet nothings to it for an hour, before it started to eat to recover.

My point being, if you look after the same dog another time, could you have some voice recordings ready, of it's owners?

He misses his owners.Left ours in kennels for 2 weeks and he was very thin😞 soon joined the tail Waggers club when he saw us 😄
