[MaxiMillion]

Yeah, I usually feel guilty when I leave Maxi home alone all day long. I guess when they are puppies, they need that extra attention. I work at an office where I can brink her along sometimes, but I can't bring her EVERY day. Maybe you can talk to people in your neighborhood (or find pet owners/lovers on Craigslist) and see if there are other little dogs looking for playmates during the day. Daycare can get VERY expensive around where I live, but almost EVERYONE has a dog in my apt. They all hire dogwalkers to come during the day to walk the dogs.
