I forgot to mention this. Yesterday we were in Costco and they were having a demonstration of a small, $300 robot to play with your pet while you are away from the house. I'd buy one for our dog but it wouldn't fit in the crate we put her in when we leave the house!
Y'all are in Arlington. Go to Hiep Thai on Pioneer Parkway and get the raw beef marrow bones that are on the back wall of the store. Freeze them solid for a couple days and when you're getting ready to go somewhere, give her one in her house. Much happier dog and much cheaper.
