@jordandwilly - Thanks for clearing that up.... 9-5 is just fine, IMO.... I work and have always had to leave mine when I was at work, never an issue. That said, we were able to set up the house that access to the backyard (with 10 to 12' privacy fences) with a doggy door and a dog room in the house for them, Locks on the gates so there is NO access for anyone. Dogs sleep 90% of the day so being at work doesn't bother them... never have mine even when I had a litter in the house (And have been in the breed as owner/breeder for 35+ years). You can hire a dog walker to take them out mid day..which is a good solution. and give them a mid day meal depending on their age. I do not and never have used free feeding, period. Especially if you have more that one... you never know what/who is eating what. And you can set up camera's on line to watch them from "afar".... LOL. Keep in mind people that many of us need to work and have day jobs. The most important thing is the time you need to spend with them when you are home. Example would be, if you have young children and you work... when you get home you are going to spend your time with your human children... NO dog would be happy if left out... they need their time also because they are a family member and need as much time as a human child. Again in my opinion

I took Goober to the family farm for memorial day weekend. On sunday we were sitting on the porch drinking beer when a bear started poking around in the garbage. I tied Goob to the porch while my uncle, cousin and I went to go shoot birdshot at the bear until it went away. We returned to find our beers empty and Goober whineing happily. Then he went and jumped in the pond.
-
What a thief! :p Next time, put your beers away. I hope Gooby will be OK.
-
Ha ha ha on you. You should have known-put your beers away up high out of reach. Hope he had a good time. (hope he's okay too! I know one b who was a lush for alcohol)
-
My B's don't care for beer, but don't leave your wine glass within reach
-
cute story. Dash steals anything we have. It doesn't matter what it is. If I eat it, he will eat it, or at least take it and hide it somewhere.
-
Mine are into coffee LOL :D….right BBoy??
-
wow, great story!
did you basenji see the bear or smell it? how did he react?
-
I don't think he saw the bear. it was 100/150 yards away. he's also never seen a bear before.
-
My hubby can leave a can of beer on the table and Sahara will NOT bother it, but you better watch that coffee if you plan on drinking more. Sahara will lap it up as fast as she can, she must like the hazelnut creamer.
