I am an elementary school teacher who has decided to take a year off to be a stay-at-home mama to my 6 month old daughter and my fur-baby, Nala. When I first got Nala it pained me to leave her for 9 hours at a time. I would love to help your fur-parent guilt (believe me, I get it) and play with your pup in the middle of the day! They will be in good hands!
