[quote=Anonymous]Our family has been considering getting a puppy for a while. But we are unsure whether we can pull it off. Neither my husband nor I had a dog going up so we are new to being dog owners. Would welcome any advice moving forward. We are hoping to get a mini-doodle/ cavapoo/ aussie doodle. Our issue is that My husband has recently now returned to work in person and has to be in his office 3 days. I am a teacher so out the house around 7:30am back around 4:30 each day. My hubby thinks that with our schedule we absolutely can not get one now because for three days it would be home alone. I agree that this is not ideal so wanted to know what options we would have on those three days and what the expected cost might be for daycare, dog walkers etc. Is that even a good idea for us to consider leaving a dog at home for 8 hours??!!! We do have a fenced in yard if that makes a difference.
Our other thought is to get the puppy right when school gets out for summer so I would have 2 months with the me home full time first. Would that make most sense? We're kicking ourselves for not being ready for this puppy a few years ago when we were all at home, but this wasn't the right time.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice you can offer. We desperately want a dog but want to make sure we are making smart decisions.
