My husband is a pilot and is gone most of the time so I like to fill my free time with animals and being outside. I have a playful corgi mix who loves playing with other dogs and loves walks so we would be going outside with your pup a lot. I live less than five minutes away from a large dog park that we go to regularly. I allow animals on the furniture, and anywhere in the apartment which is spacious enough for them to run around freely. Since I am home full time the animals are never alone more than twenty minutes at a time. I drive a four runner so if I am going out they would come with me if you would prefer that over them staying home alone.
