[quote=Anonymous][quote]Thanks for this! We definitely don’t feel entitled to or even plan to bring the dog to public places like that.

DH and I actually spent the day yesterday out and about, visiting a friend, running errands, and going out to dinner—we were gone from like 11-7–and we both commented about how we’d have to adjust once he’s here.

But at the same time, people work 8 hour days, so how does that work? Maybe our weekend day isn’t any different than a work day, other than, as you said, food and likely potty schedule. I guess we would have just come home and did a walk and food before WE headed back out for our own dinner?

Curious, what do long weekends like this look like?[/quote]

We would have gotten up and taken the dog for a long walk in the AM, then played fetch or tug just before leaving at 11am. Then come home around 5 or so to walk the dog again, then fed and played (total of an hour) before heading out for dinner. Then out for a night time pee before bed. For a non-puppy that should be fine.

In terms of working an 8 hour day, long walk in the AM, then a long walk as soon as you get home in the PM. If you work from home, a half hour walk at lunch time for stimulation. [/quote]
