I was hoping for some advice.
I have always wanted to have a dog, but don't because I work full time.
Is there any way this could work for the dog, ie by getting 2 to keep one another company.
2 days a week I work 10 hour days, the others between 5 and 7, I go home for lunch every day and have a big park close by so could walk the dog morning and evening.
I am also very inexperienced but would of course go to training classes.
I would be prepared to use all my holiday to spend settling the dog in, but would not be prepared for a dog to suffer loneliness once I had to go back to work just because I wanted one. However my only other option is to wait until I retire, but that is 40 years away!
I would be very happy to rehome a dog rather than get a puppy. I'm not worried about the breed or what it looks like.
Any suggestions or ideas welcome.
