Home alone

so Arnie had to spend the day by himself as we both worked and I thought it was about time. He's almost 7 months old now and really good. I am hoping I get home to an intact back yard, but I am not holding my breath. All I want him to leave alone are the sprinklers and my expensive irrigation system. I don't want to have to replace those parts.

He was home for about 7 - 8 hours and my wife left him with two stuffed kongs for breakfast and plenty of his toys in the yard.

I am on the train atm so I'll see what happened when I get home

 

Fingers crossed.
But he probably just slept most of the time.....

 

Don't leave us hanging, do you still have an irrigation system? Or a garden on which to use it?

 

Hmmm..good luck - I think @JulieT has had "trouble" with her irrigation system....or am I doing Charlie a disservice?

 

Well well well... He did really well. No damage to nothing. I am pleasantly surprised.

 

I don't anticipate this an everyday occurrence tho. Tomorrow I am working a 12 hour stint, so it's gonna be tougher. Kicking myself now for not organising a walker at some point

 

A long time to leave a young dog, hope you are able to organise a walker soon.

 

Yeah @Stacia i am doing 12 hours but my wife is only doing 6, so it should be ok.

 

Rather long hours for you as well Hope this is just short term?

 

Ha, I'm ok. I work 12 hours all the time, but I do 2 day shifts and then 2 night shifts. Then 4 days off At worst Arnie is only alone 2 days a week. And when my day shifts fall on weekends, my wife is always home. Perfect situation is I work day shift on Saturday and Sunday and then nights when my wife goes to work during the day at the start of the week. Then he's never alone.
