Can I leave a puppy alone during the day?

I am looking to get a german shepard for my home and am unsure what to do with it during the day. I live in the tropics and have a small&enclosed yard that i could leave him to wander in with an empty maids quarters for shade if its hot.

for lila the labrador, each day is an adventure

I wouldn’t say that I’m a particularly downbeat person, but I do find myself sometimes greeting the day with a touch of trepidation. Worrying needlessly that I won’t be able to get through my long list of whatever. Our Labrador Lila, however, awakens each morning with a sense of adventure. Bursting with anticipation of all the amazing things the day might bring! I think to myself: THAT is the way to live. Althou... (continued)
