Hi, i have just joined the forum and have a potentially silly question, we would love love love a dog but we both work.

I assume if you work full time, out of the house from 9-5 then you cant have a dog? but then i thought surely not everyone that owns a dog doesnt work full time.

i just thought i would ask, as we arent going to get one because of this. I had a dog when i lived at home a cavalier king charles and he was on his own quite a bit and was fine, didnt go crazy or accidents or anything.

we would love a cocker spaniel, but dont want to be cruel and leave it alone.

any advice be great, :)

Have you considered asking Neighbours for help?

Ours are Rupert's second family. Even when we are in with him he sits by the door so he can go round for an hour to play with their dog.

You can get a dog and work, but like it has been pointed out, you need to make arrangements for during the day to get someone to let it out and walk it. And I wouldn't get a pup. We only did as we knew that someone would help us out.
