The 7:30 and 11 always works. But half of the week I'm not home for a lunchtime visit outside, and the other half of the week I'm not home for a 5 pm/dinnertime visit outside. My life isn't set on a typical 9-5 m-f schedule, and all the routines I've seen are based around that, or on a family that always has someone at home, etc, and those just don't work for me.

Funny I just happened to be surfing and caught the Dog Whisperer on NatGeo channel.
