Blueboybilly 164 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I leave the house at 7:00am and return home at around 6:00pm. I walk the dogs once (in the evening when I get back from work) but my mrs walks them in the afternoon. If she can't walk the dogs then we have a dog walker who takes them out for £7.00 around 1:00pm. My dogs are happy with 2 hours exercise a day mate. Got a Bedlington/Grey/Whip & Pedigree Whippet. The whippet can go all day without anything but the Lurcher needs to run Hope this helps 1 Quote Link to post

darbo 4,776 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 If you can get on afternoon shift thats a good shift for the lamping man weather dependant finish at 10 at night out with the dogs only back on at 2 in the afternoon so time for a snooze also. 4 Quote Link to post

dogmad riley 1,344 Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) When I was on shifts we worked 1-8 afternoons that was a good shift but it only ever came round once every 3 weeks. Now I work days 8-4. I can lamp all night long then have 2-3 hours kip then back to work. Often when on shifts I went straight from lamping to work with no sleep it was a killer but lamping is my passion and I wouldn't give it up. Also when working shifts I had time to ferret in the day time when on nights but now I'm on days the ferreting took a back seat unfortunately. Edited April 6, 2016 by dogmad riley Quote Link to post

buster gonads 862 Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Iam a self employed gas fitter so iam lucky enough to work my dogs every day, i dont book my first job untill 10am, this allows me a mooch before i start or a couple of hours on the lamp if the weather suits without loosing too much sleep. 4 Quote Link to post
