Hi, I am also a school district employee. Luckily I work part time 3.5 days/week. But, my husband is usually home by about 1:00 pm from work. I just got my first Yorkie "Lily" the day after school got out at the end of May, and decided to get another pup so she'll have a companion when the kids and I do have to go back to school next month. So, we just got "Roscoe" last Saturday!!!! Besides, we love Lily so much, we thought it would be great to have 2!!
