I feel awful when I have work parties or things that are mandatory for me to do after work.

Today I had to go to a work party, luckily they let me leave early so I could go let him out and walk him. He is with me constantly on weekends, and gets 3 walks a day. But I feel sooooo guilty during mandatory outings that I can’t get out of. What are some pick me ups you do for your basset when your gone for longer periods? 💔 Just stating he is a rescue and he does not like dog parks or playing with other dogs much. He’s also a one person dog as anyone else besides me he is terrified of.
