Dog and long hour days?

[wolf_Q]

My dogs stay in the house without being let out for that long while I'm at work and they do fine. Yes I've had some messes but just if they are sick. Luckily I do have the option of taking them to work with me if I know they are sick. But I leave at about 7:45 am and I don't get home until 4-5 and they are fine. Sometimes Corby lets them out at lunch and they don't even get up to go outside.

I have pee pads in two different rooms which LilGirl & Sissy can use if necessary. They prefer to go outside though. At night we take them out around 7pm now that it is not dark & they go and usually don't have to go again until next morning when we take them.
