I live in a spacious condo with my wife and 1 year old morkie Benjamin. He is walked at 815 and again at 515. During the day he has plenty of toys to play with and a wee-wee pad in our bathroom in case he needs to use the restroom mid day. I do not crate during the day so he has about 500 sq ft to play in from 830-415pm while his mommies are at work. There is a gate preventing him from going into the kitchen and causing trouble. I do not work at home but have a camera that I am able to access when sitting someone else's dog/baby throughout the day, and work 10 minutes away from my home. Our home is full of love, and welcome dogs all ages. We have a crate for sleeping if preferred, but also multiple doggie beds and plenty of space in our bed!
