| Right now I'm unemployed so I spend pretty much all day, every day with Sully! He's spoiling me rotten and me him likewise, hahaha! But when I work, of course my hubby has a 8-5 too.....we'll make even more of an effort to be home with Sully. :-)

| When I first got Mojo, I was able to take him to work with me (what a blessing). I know have been a stay at home mom and homeschool mom for awhile, so Mojo is with us 24/7. I occassionally run errands without him, but for the most part, he goes with us. I have to say that 6 days out of 7, we are with Mojo round the clock. He is always by us, no matter what we are doing or where in the house we are. He is a nice break from work.....a good distraction, if you will. If I'm at the computer, he is either in his bed on the desk or I am playing with him on the desk. I love this little guy and can't stand it when we are not together!!!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I was forced to retire early(53 years old) and am enjoying being home with Cali all the time. lately I have been running around moving my parents close to me but I make sure my dtr or husband will be home or home soon. Cali is never left for more than 3 hours and that's rare. I love retirement! I hope I can stay retired for awhile.

| I showed this thread to my daughter and she just laughed. She wanted me to tell you all that we are joined at the hip. I'm sitting on my chaire and Gus is in back of me keeping warm with my bum and the sun shinning though the window. I spend 24/7 with my Gus. Ok I may get an hour or 2 by myself,,, when I take a shower. But when I open the door he's right there at the door just laying there waiting for me. When he's not on my lap he's at my feet or laying in one of his beds in the the same room I'm in. He has to keep my in eyes view at all times. Every so often he'll go play with the kids but I have to be there in view. There are times where the kids are able to take him up to their rooms to play with him and he does fine till he hears me or sees me. I'm hoping that when I get my female it will help him with his seperation issues

| I could have marked 24 hours! He goes to work with me, we go home, Stay home ( not a real exciting life here.) and then we go to bed together, Thats why I'm always sad, cause I never get to see him get all excited to see me,,, cause he's with me all the time! Weekends and a couple evenings a week we go out or shopping, but never more than 4 hours for him in the crate.

Our Blessings R Many Donating Member | 24-7 plus for Baby Blessing ( we're in her dreams) she is with us all the time, as was our Cassie (seldom did we ever leave her at home) they thrive on love and attention and they are our best medicine, hubby has Parkinsons and it is so good to see him smile once again since we got Baby Blessing, she is now learning to snuggle in his arms like Cassie use to do her name is very fitting thanks to two lovely ladies here with YT . Have a nice day everyone. |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | 7 hours a day???? I thought I was bad! You guys need a life!!!! Just kidding. I checked 1-2 a day, but that's 1-on-1 quality time: a walk to the park, obedience training around the house, chasing games after work. I'm around him 10-12 hours every workdday, including sleep and nonplay times.

| I could have put 24 hours also except for when we have to run errands, grocery shopping, gym, etc. What a joy they are!

| I wish I could be around more... Trixie is home alone while I'm at work, she's a great dog!!! Sometimes I feel so guilty she's by herself so many hours. I actually quit working out for a while because I felt bad. But I try to make the time we do spend together in the morning, and at night and on the weekends extra special.

| I hate having to work I get up really early so I can spend 2 hours with them in the morning, then I come home for lunch everyday for another hour (unless they are at daycare) then all night when I get home and they sleep with me |
