Welcome to Yorkietalk! My husband and I both work full time as well. Abby is a year old now and very well adjusted and just knows this is routine when we leave for work. She has most of the house available to her now and we don't worry about her tearing up anything. She has her pee pad and food and water bowl in the kitchen and chew toys and bed in the living room. We started out when we brought her home just giving her the bathroom with her pee pad, food and water and little bed in for her. After several months we gated off a larger area for her. We also leave music on for her. I think they adapt to your routine fairly easily. That is all Abby has ever known. We do exercise her when we get home though, either by walking her or playing indoors with her. We also exercise and play alot with her on weekends. Good luck. I am sure your furbaby will do fine. |
