How long will you be gone during the day?

Drake has the run of the house and doesn't mess anything up (he did at one point though!). I go home on my lunch break every day to let him out and relax myself. I work about 7 miles away, so it is convenient. Perhaps he could go to doggy daycare once or twice a week instead of everyday.

If he is not used to being left alone, start practicing! And congrats on the new job!
