Is it possible?
I am a teacher, partner also works full time, often til late in the evening but doesn't leave the house til 10 most days.
I grew up with dogs and miss having one about. I am very aware of their needs and would never want to leave a dog at home for long periods of time. I'm just thinking about what the options are - how feasible is it to get someone to come in to walk/look after the dog during the day? Would it confuse the dog to have different people coming and going?
Is there anyone who works full time but has a dog?
We don't have any children and aren't going to have any so that's not an issue.
We would definitely get a rescue and go for training. Just the thought of coming home to a happy furry face makes me feel happy! I suffer from anxiety and depression and sometimes it's so hard for me to socialise and it's a bit hard on my partner because he feels he has to stay in with me and I think he'd feel better if I had a dog to keep me company.
If you're worried about your pet's health, please speak to a vet or qualified professional.
