Right now I’m working 8-4 and attending school three nights a week in Nashville. I have an hour lunch which allows me to go home everyday for potty breaks and play time at noon! My partner is also at the house most days after he gets home from work around 9am. Every dog we’ve watched absolutely adores him! I live in a duplex that has a decent sized front and side yard - so we can play fetch whenever we’re not able to make it to the dog park.
