My husband and I work full time and have two puppies. We used to keep them in the bathroom with a babygate but have recently expanded their area to include an L shaped hallway outside the bathroom. They are being fairly good with the paper training but still have a few accidents and misses. We got two so they could keep each other company. We have a cat as well and we were surprised to learn that he loves the company as well. He frequently sits just outside the gate and watches them. Yesterday, the cat learned he could jump over the lower gate and hang out but leave when the puppies got too playful. Overall it seems to be working for us. As for feeding, we feed them in the AM with a mix of canned and dry food. For lunch, I leave out a serving of dry food for each of them. In the evening, they get their supper as soon as we get home at around 7 pm (again both wet and dry food).
We are thinking about puppy day care because there is a great one in our neighborhood but have to wait until they have all their shots. Unforunately, two puppies at day care is not cheap.
I would love to take them to work but it isn't really an option right now. Though I am hoping that with summer Fridays, that dog time is more of an option! |
