For the ninetofive office worker, raising a puppy poses a significant challenge: ensuring that the young dog is fed three to four times a day. Once this issue is tackled, everything else falls into place.

When it comes to puppies, it's crucial to feed them before you leave for work in the morning, again at noon, once more when you return home from work, and finally before bedtime. Skipping these feedings can hinder the puppy's development.

What does your dog do when you're not at home?

It sleeps. During their growth phase, puppies spend most of their time napping, so you needn't worry too much about their loneliness. A few toys can help keep them entertained.

Will the dog make a mess and chew things up?

Yes, before they learn not to, puppies might. Therefore, it's essential to teach them to use the bathroom in designated spots as soon as possible. Even dogs that haven't learned this behavior might chew, especially larger ones. They need ample time at home; otherwise, you'll find yourself cleaning up a variety of messes every day. These aren't just feces and urine; they're often things like sesame oil, ketchup, and the like. Dogs might also track in flour, leaving the floor a snowy white. In short, if you're not going to be home much, consider that raising a dog is about companionship, not just having a pet.

A very important safety concern for dogs is their tendency to eat things they shouldn't and chew on electrical cords.

The solution is to keep your home spotless and free of items that could be chewed. If that's not possible, you may need to confine your dog to a cage. Living alone, a dog can provide a lot of comfort, especially for women, but it also comes with its own set of challenges. As they say, with great sacrifice comes great reward. So, if you're committed, I believe you can make it work.

Even though you're exhausted from the day, knowing that your silly dog is waiting for you at home can be incredibly comforting. After all, your dog's excitement to see you isn't just about going for a walk; it's about the bond you share.
