I just got me a dawg and I love her. She's a basset hound, big, chunky, slobbery and generally smooshy.

She's an adult basset so she's hardly sprinting out the door every minute but she does enjoy a long sedate walk where she can sniff each individual bit of grass.

We gel pretty well and we do our thing but sometimes I wonder how I could do more. I've changed my lifestyle considerably to make time and I think she's happy enough but I wondered how you guys (who are pooch parents) organise your daily routine to maximise quality time with your furry buddies whilst getting your phd work done...
