Is it possible that perhaps you could exchange the dogs some other way? Can you just leave them in his yard perhaps? I mean of course you would have to let him know you are dropping them off Tuesday or whenever and that you will put them in the yard at 3 and pick them up the same way or he can leave them in your yard?
Just an idea for now, maybe for several months. You haven't been apart very long and seeing him regularly and knowing all he is up to keeps you engaged in his life instead of focusing on yours.
Good suggestions that I put into use about this Sunday... I was asking him what time I could bring the dogs out and he didn’t know, “what time do you want to bring them out?” Always a question in answer if a question. So I just sent him a msg saying I will bring them out after I feed them. He said but his daughter is having dinner at 5. So I said I will just bring them out and if he isn’t there so be it.
