Hi!
I work full-time and its too far to come home. My boys are fine! I think it took them a bit longer than others to get housebroken and also the chewing thing lasted longer, but they are almost 3 years old now and they are gated into my kitchen during the day. I put a radio on for them and when I get home they are happy to see me. All is well in their world. However if you do this I highly recommend one CRUCIAL thing that I didnt know at the time. Set up an indoor PEN, do not just gate them into a room. My boys put holes in my walls and chewed the bottom of my cabinets. If they were in an indoor pen they would not have been able to reach this stuff. At least do that until they outgrow the chewing phase (about a year old).
Good Luck with your new boy! You'll be so happy with him Im sure!
Oh and welcome to YT!!!
