I've had a dogs my whole life. At one point I was working from 4am not getting home until almost 9pm. That was a very selfish time for me to have a dog. I loved her and didn't want to let her go. So I know how important it is to have someone who can take your babies for walks and runs and just love on them throughout the day when you're not able to be with them. I never leave our pup we have now at home by himself. He always goes with me or my husband throughout the day. He's our baby and loves other dogs. We take him to the dog park a lot and he gets a long with every kind of dog out there.
