I live less than a block and a half away from a very huge doggie park. And plain on vis it in it regularly. Guaranteed 2 entertain your dog while you are unable to. I understand how hard it is getting off of work and wanting to play with your dog but just being too tired this way your dog has people there to help it get that energy out. I know when I used to work nights and I would come home my dog would be restless wanting me to play and I would just be too tired and I felt like I was in a way not caring for him correctly I'm happy I get to spend a lot more time with him we go to the park daily
