I want my remaining dog to have company.<BR/><BR/>The dogs don't have the run of the 1.5 acres, they have a fenced yard which is 17ft by about 30ft. Enough to throw a ball in. The neighbour who put up one fence was totally useless, and the dogs can get under the wire easily. It was also cheaper to build the smaller fence rather than fence the whole property when we got the two puppies, Bundy and Katie. The elder dog then, 48, was fine on a running wire without a fence, except for the rottweiler up the back which came over and tormented him all the time. (They didn't bother tying their dog up. Why? It's the city folk move to the country and found a bloody freerange farm zoo syndrome.

The dogs are a subconcious signal that you really do want to stay put, and thus the yard needs to be mowed etc etc.Boy on a bikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452119541546978454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723937561506139096.post-46985364169969807232008-10-18T08:48:00.000+10:002008-10-18T08:48:00.000+10:00Ah, Wand.

More work initially than a new baby!<BR/><BR/>Our house has been without animals for a year or so now since the girls all left home taking their dogs with them.<BR/><BR/>A week ago I had a comment from the man who has mowed our lawns for more than twenty years now (huh how time flies - I haven't had a lawn mower since before then - one of my better decisions). Anyway Paul commented on how different things were these days without two or three dogs and other assorted animals to contend with as he came round the back with his mower and whipper snipper. Nowdays it is open gates.<BR/><BR/>The other day in the local pet shop there was a lovely little black cocker spaniel puppy that was just like one of the dogs we used to have here. For a moment I thought how nice it would be to have a puppy again - to bring the place to life and so on..... and and the pet store entreats people to puppy sit over night! That's probably a good marketing idea.<BR/><BR/>Anyway two days later the puppy had gone.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes with your new family member Kae. Happy training and cleaning and all the other fun stuff!Wandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784695856838507417noreply@blogger.com
