• Yes, this was my thought but wasn't sure how other managed it. I had thought about a combination of dog sitter & each of us wfh one day a week and one day a week in the office but that would be hard when a puppy.

    I just miss not having a dog

  • If you could do what you say here, then I think it's doable - only two days a week alone at home, with a dog walker/sitter on those days. That's pretty much my arrangement and it works. It means that on days he's left, he has to have a long walk (hour plus) first thing, with lots of chasing a ball or running with other dogs, and another one when I get home - but that's the best bit anyway.

    Maybe crate-train the puppy from very young to make taking it into the office easier.

  • I've had to leave my dogs with my ex as it wasn't feasible for me to have them given my working hours (which are still shorter than yours) - just wouldn't have been fair on them. tbh, the last year or so of our relationship I was staying with her for the sake of the dogs - this was not healthy. Really miss them, but at least we have decent custody arrangements and I get to see them a couple of times a week.
