I'm gone 9-10 hours a day. What does Layla do while I'm gone? She SLEEPS! If I get home from work before my roommates, she's not waiting at the door for me. The house is completely quiet. I walk into my bedroom and I can always find her laying on my bed with her tail wagging, and stretching out her legs from a long nap
Even on days when I'm home sick, or I take a day off work, she will still sleep the afternoon away. It's her routine now!
