I have 2 dogs of my own so I know and understand what a dog needs. I have had one of my dogs since he was a puppy and the other one I have had since she was about 1. Weekends are best for me but I am a teacher and am out of school by 3 sometimes earlier every day. I also get long breaks during the day so I can stop in if needed. I see how sad my dogs are when I leave them so I don't want these dogs to feel the same way. Dogs are like kids and they need fun/playtime too. I like taking the dogs for a walk because it gives us both some fresh air and exercise.
