fast food (my dogs love fish tacos). Just get them out of the lonely house. I know how hard that is after all you have been through but they are dogs and it's pretty easy to distract them at least for a while. Or if that's too much, just get some nice chicken or beef and cook it up and spoil them for a while. I wish you and them the best. So sorry for all you have been through and all that the three of you are going through.
