Life with Shiro
The Guilt of Leaving Him Behind: Weekend Sitter Prep
“When the whole family has to attend a function and Shiro can't come, the 'guilt' is real. Here's how we prep for a sitter.”
“The suitcase usually means 'vacation'. Shiro knows the sound of the zipper hitting the teeth. But when the car doesn't have his mat in the back, the 'dog guilt' hits like a ton of bricks.”
The Shiro Solution
What actually worked
- A detailed 'Shiro Bible' for the sitter with every quirk and habit documented.
- Pre-portioned meal containers to avoid any confusion or overfeeding.
- Leaving a piece of my worn t-shirt in his bed for a familiar scent while we're away.
