Hi Everyone

We are buying a house in the next couple of months and I have always had pets growing up. I would love to get a little dog, maybe a chihuahua or a Pomeranian, but I worry about leaving them home during the day while we are both in work. They would be alone for about 9 hours from when we leave in the morning and when we return. I am worried it would be cruel to leave them for that time. Although I would make it up in the evenings with walks and playtime etc. I would also walk them in the morning before i’d leave for work. Anyway my question is would it be selfish of me to want to have a dog and leave it home alone (in the house with a dog-flap on the door), or is it something that a lot of people have to do?

Thanks in advance,.. :-)

Thanks everyone, thats the thing though I live in Kildare and our jobs are in Dublin so its about a 30 minute drive in the mornings, it really wouldnt be possible to make it home and back in the 45 minute lunch break. maybe I will loko into adopting an older dog rather than a puppy, I dont really have a preference to age. I would leave them in the kitchen (Its a big room) where there is no furniture to destroy or carpet to ruin ;-) we would spend a lot of time with the dog in the evenings, training, walking, playing, so hopefully that will make up for the lonely day :-) x
