Ok, so I feel like a heel today, and it is only because I started a new job. Aftern not working at a regular 9 to 5 job for the last year, going back to a schedule has become quite awkward to say the least.
But in all honesty, I feel worse because I am no longer home all day with my pets. Sure, my girlfriend gets home at noon to spend time with the puppies, and I now get home at 5, but it is not the same. It has only been one day, but I miss them while I am at work.
Pets, like people, miss each other and their owners when you are not around. It is a natural fact of relationships. You have to take the good with the bad. Luckily I still get home early enough to take them for a walk and get in some good quality play time.
My biggest fear will be that their previously set training schedule will be all screwed up. Being a work from home-body meant I could train them earlier in the morning, give them plenty of time to tire out from running around all day, and then keep them calm before bed time.
Hopefully the next few weeks will be enough time for both them and myself to adjust to being sperated during the day. Iwill have to see if I can get my girlfriend to take over their training. Somehow I doubt it though.
