My job is 12 hour shifts plus an hour commute each way. This is a big part of why we haven’t already gotten a dog. Well that, and also until a few months ago we were in a pretty small apartment. My wife is home more than me, so we’re considering it, but I want to try to time it so that I’m off and there more early on for adjustment period and training.
Humans don’t deserve dogs. I want to be the kind of human who can almost disprove that fact.
If you lived alone I’d say it would be a terrible idea to get a dog. But if your wife is home a lot then it sounds like a much more doable situation imo.
Fuck anyone who doesn’t get someone to go look after their dog for a few hours if especially if they are gone for 12 hours.
