When we got Snickers, my hubby and I were both working and we still do. I am a teacher so I have summers off which is incredible time to spend with Snick. My husband can walk to work if need be so he comes home every day to let Snick out and to have lunch with Snick. We probably would not have gotten a dog if my husband could not come home daily. Snickers is never home alone for more than 4 hours. I don't think it's terrible to leave dogs more than 4 hours, but it's just not what I prefer. In my opinion, if you get a dog, give it the best life you can, which includes companionship, not solitude. If you plan to be at work for long hours, maybe getting 2 is not a bad idea. The 1st 5 month with the 2 of them (or 1) is very time consuming with potty training, feed and potty schedules, etc. Good luck!!
