When we let him out he is with us the remainder of the evening until bed at which time he goes into his crate without food and water. He is a very happy dog and he loves his crate. I guess not everyone can be fortunate to be home all day with their animals. |
Who said ANYTHING about not getting a dog if you work?! It was just stated that a puppy always needs water, do you not worry about risking his/her health? I went to school FINE when Lilly was a baby. She stayed in the kitchen with a gate up, all cords picked up, food, water, toys, bed - everything she could possibly need/want. I know I wouldn't deprive her of her water or food, but that's just me I guess
