It's off to work I go!

I'm a working JD, pup mom, fiance. I couldn't be happier and torn at the same time! It's great to get out of the house and have a steady income but on the other hand it's hard to leave two puppies alone all day long. The only saving grace is that I take them to the dog park in the freezing cold at seven in the morning every day before work. I let them run and play as I lose all sensation in my toes and hands. I give them treats, toys and a huge crate to sleep in. So why do I still feel guilty? I suppose I put myself in their shoes, which would be a huge no no according to Cesar Milan. I can't help it. I have a lot of empathy for helpless animals otherwise I would not be a vegetarian!!!
