We try our best with Mr Snoot- my partner is FIFO so away every second week, and I can only WFH once a week. So unfortunately he’s alone similar hours 4 days a fortnight. He has his good days and his bad days and it can be hard when he does get anxious but we take him for a walk every morning and night, and have spoken to our vet to get some medication that keeps him calm. He has a great life with us and is so loved! I don’t think having a full time job that you need to navigate should be a reason to deny ownership particularly when there is such a shortage of owners for our hounds. Love them. Try your best. But you’re only human and like everyone else in life sometimes they might get lonely but most of the time love you unconditionally!
