I am a clinical fellow in speech pathology right now, and I work at a hospital about an hour away from my house, so I'm gone every weekday from 6:45 am until around 6 or 7. My husband is gone similar hours, so my little one only gets to be out and play for a few hours each day (before and after work). She is 16 weeks, and has been a dream with crate training (luckily), but I often feel bad, because I don't feel like I can ever give her enough of my time and energy. She gets just about all of me on Saturday and Sunday, though, and I love it!
I recommend getting a puppy. It may be hard while you're in school, but just like the others said, if you wait until you're done, it will be a long time off! |
