I walk him and play with him for an hour before leaving for work, and then we have a lot of playing and at least one walk after I get home. I have been vitisting him at lunch as my summer work schedules is pretty loose, so he's enjoyed that.
Also, I have a petcam set up, so I know for a fact he sleeps almost all day long, and then perks up when I get home!
He seems pretty happy, thank goodness! So I would imagine a set up like this might work for you. |
Thank you for your reply! This sounds great! It sounds like Barnaby is very happy and very well cared for. Very interesting about the web cam as well. I think that set-up sounds great and would like to do the same for Rocky in a few weeks. We currently live in an apartment with v. bad sound insulation and mostly carpet but are moving to a condo with concrete walls and only hardwood/tile in about a month. This will make training much easier I think although we will still watch him lots of course when he is wandering around.
