Depends on your point of view I guess.Beachdown wrote: ↑
My dog is alone 9 hours a day.
She seems okay with it. She gets a half hour walk in the morning and another hour at night. While she's alone at home, she chases/stalks the Roomba.
Having someone come in to walk her or let her out in the yard to play is $20/day minimum.
Pretty big ***** of change when it's really not necessaryl.
As for me , I would think it IS necessary NOT to let a dog sit in the house for 9+ hours a day...that's just a cruel thing to do to a dog....at least in my books.
So, if it meant paying someone $400 a month - or more - so my dog could get out each day...I'd gladly pay it.
