8 to 9 hours is too long for a puppy to stay home alone. You need to make other arrangements. Bringing her to work will be a great deal of work for you. While trying to do your job, you will be watching her all the time. I'm not scolding you, but for anyone else working full-time and wanting a puppy, make sure you have alternatives for watching her. I do think it's great that your mom can help. A puppy is a joy to have around, but it is a big responsibility. |
