RLC, I'll be home with him all day since I work in the evenings, which works out great. I'll be able to keep a close eye on him and take him out often. How often do you think I should take him out? My hubby and son are home in the evenings, so someone will always be there for him. I don't think he'll have to spend alot of time in the expen, only at night. I'm up late, so I'll be able to take him out during the night too. My shift works out great for having a new puppy!
