I've been reading your post on the forum about what do with with your puppy as you work 9am - 5pm. You're not alone! Unfortunately, some people can get a little judgemental on here sometimes - I'm sure they don't mean too, just looking at the dogs best interests.
Unfortunately, a lot of us have to work 9-5 and it can't be avoided. It doesn't mean we love our dogs any less or neglect them. It just means that you need to make the most of the time that you are with them.
I would love to be able to stay home all day every day with Cooper & Piper, but it's just not possibly financially. To be honest, I know people that do stay home all day and don't give their dogs nearly as much attention as mine get.
Good luck, hope we can chat soon. Can't wait to see pics when you get your puppy. Check our the pics of Cooper & Piper on my page if you want to.
