Will he be a baby baby? How do you plan to train him if you are gone all day? When Maggie was a baby I took her out after every nap and about 15 minutes after she ate or drank. Babies need to eat more often and I think I had her on breakfast lunch dinner schedule. It was like having an infant. If I worked full time I would have taken vacation time those first few weeks, maybe had hubby take some time if I couldn't take enough. Luckily I was home and she trained easily.
Sorry to say that it doesn't sound like you planned this out.....Puppies are a lot of work.
Also, you could move your workouts to the evening...... |
Thank you for your feedback....I have planned this out very well, I plan on knowing that nothing goes as planned! I have taken time off to be with Marley, and get to know his personality, what he likes. I have no problem working around him with certain things. My gym, job, etc are all really close. At this point it's just a matter of adjusting to him being in the mix. I wrote the thread to get feedback on what other people do just to get some ideas. But I also have exercise videos at home if need be, or I may just use our walk time as a morning workout....who knows. To me its not that major, just wanted ideas.
And between my working only blocks away, my boss allowing me to bring Marley to work, and my aunt BEGGING me to let him come over during the day, I do believe we have it all together as much as possible....but the most important piece has not yet arrived so I can only plan but so much. Maybe he will be a serious sleeper and so I can sneak out in the am for a quick gym workout....maybe he wont
I just cant wait to love him.
