I work 8 hrs a day 5 days a week. i felt so bad when tumi was the only dog so I got her a sister. Now I have 3 girls and they keep each other company and they play with each other. they get the free run on our apartment except our bedroom . Our place is puppy proof. They are 100% pee pad trained. I take them to doggie day care couple of days a month also. it's been working out great. i also have doggy cam in my apartment so I can check in on them.
