Oooohhhh spooky!! I was literally opening up this page to ask exactly the same question!

We are thinking about getting a dog, but I work at a school, so during term-time would be out of the house from 8.30 until 2.00 every day. If anyone else is in this situation, what did they do when their dog was a puppy. I am sure a dog would be fine when it was older leaving for this long, but not sure about a puppy.

I'm just waiting for a local dog walking company to phone me back to see how much they charge to come and let the dog out and play with it for a little while, but I would much rather do it myself!

So basically the question is, what did all you workers do with your puppy whilst you were at work?

Many thanks.
