Hi, we are researching getting a (rescue) dog. Neither DH nor I have ever owned a dog before. I was wondering what the dog does on a day to day basis?
Eg today, DD and DS are at home, doing homework, on playstation, just lounging about, I popped out to the shops for about 2 hours, DH is at home but in his office in the loft.
What does the dog do while all the above is happening assuming it's been taken out for a walk in the morning?
This evening we'll have dinner at around 6.30, then watch a bit of TV, then I go up and read in bed at about 9pm, DH usually stays up until 12/1am watching TV downstairs. DCs go to bed around 9.30pm
When would the dog go to bed? How many hours sleep do they need?
Tomorrow I'll be up at 6am, have breakfast, drop DS to bus stop at 7.30, then go to work at 9am, back at 11.30am. DH will be working from home. DCs home from school around 5pm. What time does the dog get up?
What does the dog do while I'm at work and DH works in his office in the loft?
Sorry to ask such basic questions but I have been wondering about this for a while.
