The Dogs in Question
The white dog, Ezzie, is capable of staying at home while we are gone. As long as someone comes by to feed her in the morning and let her out for a potty break at night, she is fine. No messes.
Zeta, the German Shepherd, is another story - she is a maniac. If we leave her alone for ten minutes she's in the garbage, tearing up toilet paper or leaving us a reminder on the rug. She goes to the kennel.
