[Dougal&Little]

Hi ya I work full time and sometimes I'm out of the house for nine or ten hours cos of work while I miss them and they are usually excited to see me when I get home -- I don't make too much of them when I come through the door -- and if I can stick to the routine they don't fuss nearly as much.

My partner and i go out on dates on week nights and they aren't too worried.

I have to work to make money and I have to work at my relationship because it makes me happy and healthy. So spending time away from my dogs is to their benefit. While I miss them I work hard to not feel guilty about it - it's only damaging to myself. They don't benefit from me emotionally blackmailling myself

I walk them regularly and I train and play with them everyday -- I make sure the time we have together is quality time. We do dog agility and I'm starting to do heelwork to music and we're loving it.
