I'm single and work full time. My boys use potty pads during the day while I'm at work and go outside also. Both my boys are both neutered but still "mark" sometimes, so I've been thinking about gating them in the kitchen while I'm at work. I just haven't had the heart to do it yet, they are used to sitting and looking out the window all day. I guess I have to decide which is worse, cleaning up the occasional marking, or my thinking I'm a bad mom for keeping them from their window to the world for 8 hours. Good luck. I have a shih poo named Oliver!! If I had it to do over, I would gate them while I'm gone so if there is any marking it would be on linoleum. Congrats on your new baby!!
