Hi All,
In a few months, I maybe a mom to a 7wk old pup. My husband and I are both ready for the responsibility and the fun times ahead . Ive been reading ALOT lately and getting advice from the breeder, and other pet owners.
Everything seems pretty straight forward in terms of care, food, etc... except for my future corgi's day time routine.
Both my husband and I work 8 hr jobs, so our corgi will have lots of private time. Ive heard both bad and not so bad thoughts about leaving the puppy alone during this time. I would like to know what your thoughts are on this. Our house is big enough for us to construct a spacious play area during the day. Im also planning on taking a few days off during his first days home. Ive seen many ppl lead 9-5 jobs leaving pets home, but Ive never known if its right or wrong...or if corgis need specific care.
I was also thinking if a bed time location should be different from his daytime area? Or does he need to get used to one place?
Im open to all opinions and advice. I really think I'll be a good mom, I just want to make sure Im doing it the right way.

Thanks!!
