 No expert, but....
We work full time and my 17 yoa daughter gets home from school at 2:30. It works just fine....but I didn't stay home for three months with them when we first got them. I took the week off and stayed with them then, but I didn't want them to think I was home all the time and every day. I'd recommend leaving on your own for an hour or more frequently so they don't end up having seperation anxiety when you return to your students in the fall.
I also recommend you do some research on your rescue group as well to insure they are reputable. I got Barley from a rescue and they were the opposite of what a rescue should be. Barley was skin and bones, had kennel cough, ear mites and ear infections in both ears, ulcer scars on each eye, a lump on his neck and a broken canine tooth. They also promised me he'd come microchipped and he wasn't. When I picked him up it was love at first site. I swore I'd protect him no matter what. When I told them what my vet found they refused to help with any vet expenses and said they'd take him back. I said no way is he coming back to you to be abused again. So please, look at references for any rescue group you chose and check with the SPCA in their area so that you'd know if they've been reported for any reasons. Thanks for chosing a rescue. |
