[quote=Anonymous]We recently bought a dog.  I didn't want a dog, but my husband and my kids have been hounding at me for a year and I finally gave in. I work full time from home, so I have to take care of the dog during the day and my husband does everything after work and on weekends.  That was the deal.  My husband thinks I should let the dog out more during the day, but I really don't like playing with the dog, so it's in the crate most of the day.  I have to work and I really just don't like cuddling with dogs.  This is what I do:  I wake up, I take the dog for a quick 5 minute walk, then I feed the dog and take it out for another 5 minute walk.  Then she goes in the crate while I get myself and the kids ready and I drive them to school.  Then I come back and take the dog out again for 5 minutes and back in the crate while I work.  It's a big crate, but a crate non the less.  I work until noon, then I take the dog for a 30 minute walk and feed it.  Then back into the crate.  Then at 3pm I take the dog out for another 30 minute walk.  Then back in its crate until my husband gets home at 5pm.  He takes over for dinner and takes the dog for an hour walk later on.  He also keeps the dog out of the crate the whole time. Which is fine because the dog is under his supervision. I'm just not going to let the dog out during the day because every time I've done this the dog starts to chew on everything, my chair, cables, my feet, my shoes, etc.  I really don't want to deal with that.  Don't most working people leave their dogs in crates anyway?  I told DH that the dog is already getting more walks than other dogs.   Am I right or is he right?[/quote]
