Post Your Pets

What do all of you people with dogs do during the day? Do you all work at home most of the time? This is the thing that puts me off having a dog. I'd love one but don't think it's fair to have it locked up for 10hr a day every day.

i've just bought my own business so he just hangs out in the basement office with me, to be fair he pretty much sleeps through a lot of the day anyway but it's nice that if i want to take him to the park or share an ice cream with him or whatever i can.
i got a small dog because i knew that i couldn't devote 2 x hour walks x every single day x 10 plus years. i like that i can take ludd pretty much anywhere. today i went to franco manca and he just came inside and sat under the table, i couldn't do that with a lab.

i wasn't working when i got ludd as a puppy because i knew he would require a lot of attention and it's not good to leave them for big stretchs at a time when they're little, i can understand why that would mess then up. a woman i meet occasionally walking the dog just got a 8/10 week old staff and then just leaves it at home for 8 hours a day, she couldn't understand why the vet was narked when she told him about what she was doing.
