My 5 year old border collie mix is looking for a friend. I have previously worked 12 hour shifts for which she would always go to a sitter's house the entire time. I am now working some 10 hour shifts in which I think she could stay home with a visit in the middle of the day to be let out, play ball in the backyard, and her favorite, human attention. She will still go to a sitters house most days of the week, but looking for once a week to have a drop in visit last about 30-45 minutes.
