I've found that if I leave my
dog out in the yard for too long, he'll do everything in his power to get back in the house with me.
She enjoys walks,
hanging out in the yard with her favorite people and sleeping on a nice comfy bed and will make a nice companion for the right person.
Keep walks short, make sure she is on a leash even
when out in the yard, and consider adding some more crate time to the schedule during this period.
But this large animal won't get a walk on a leash or be
put out in the yard when it's time to do her business.
Note to self: next time you're walking
out in the yard in the grass, don't wear sandals like these.
Most dogs love being outside, but it's not possible for dog owners to spend all day, every
day out in the yard with their dogs.
Plus it is very common for the pet owner to think they see or hear their deceased pet in the home or
out in the yard long after it is gone.
They may need to be
monitored out in the yard to make sure they don't eat dirt, too much grass or any harmful plants and fungi.
I do like to be wherever you are in the house and I like to wander around outside to check
things out in the yard.
They introduce potential adopters to canine
prospects out in the yard or accompany folks to the separate facility that houses the adoptable cat colony.
Keep in mind, though, that letting your dog
out in the yard by himself or taking leisurely walks are not exercise.
Their dogs are healthy, never had a health problem aside from the occasional batch of worms which comes from the
rabbits out in the yard.
My husband and I
sat out in our yard and had a glass of wine (well, he had a beer) this evening.
And be aware of what your pet is doing
when out in your yard; it only takes a minute for thieves to steal your pet.
If you simply let your
dog out in the yard, you lose an opportunity to reinforce desirable behavior.
