@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
Nexa's getting a playmate!!!

Woo Hoo big congrats!!!!

Congratulations! I'm so happy that Leo found a loving home. I have a father/daughter pair of rescues that got along great at the shelter, got along great at my house for a couple of months, and then had a few weeks of working out what the proper behavior/ranking/etc. was between the two of them in their new home with me. But everthing is just great–and it looks like your two are off to a great start.

Yes, be prepared for "things" that will go on with a new addition…. as they "sort" thing out.... and congrats on your new addition

That's soooooo great. I'm trying to add to my pack also. It's great to see it happen for others. Hopefully we'll be able to SHARE adjustment stories soon. Good luuck with them they are adorable !!!!!!!

How exciting! The pics are lovely!
Can't wait to hear stories of Nexa and Leo and their adventures together.

It got really cold and windy here, so we're trying out the new coats! I think Leo looks all tough in his. He outweighs Nexa by about 10 lbs, he's about 32 lbs.

How cute! Great pics! It looks like they are getting along perfectly! Yay!
-
Great coats!
