Hi, Sevens, and welcome to pet talk. I hope you find the bestest two dogs ever, and we can't wait to see pics. of them!!!

Regarding doggie day care...since I only work on a temporary (basically per diem) basis, I don't feel that it is fair to my dog to suddenly leave him for 8-10 hours by himself when he is used to my being around all the time. As he grows older (he's only 4.5 months old now) I think we will gradually stretch the amount of time he's by himself, but for now we take him to doggie day care. It is so great just having peace of mind that he is OK, supervised, fed, played with, and sometimes even groomed. They have supervised playtime, exercise in the afternoon, and anything special that needs taking care of (meds. etc.) is all taken care of. The fee is really reasonable at $10/day, and like I said having peace of mind is so worth it. Without it, I think I would sit @ work & just worry. What is eating now? Is he barking?? Is he anxious?? Ad infinitum...If you have any doubts about the place when you check it out, ask for references. Is the place clean? Do the other dogs look happy & healthy??

There, I'm rambling again... Good luck finding your puppies!
