I live out in the country but we do not have a fenced yard that would contain a dog. My littles go out on a tether most times however we do walk the country road on leash and we frequent the dog park in Fulton. I would be sure and hand walk your baby throughout the day. My two littles are the center of my universe. I have a long haired Doxie and a Pomeranian mix, both males both fixed and utd on all their vaccinations. I believe that dogs are to be spoiled and loved on as much as possible. My guys go where I go, they sit on furniture, sleep in my bed and run the house. When I am not home they are secured in one room of the house with tile floor just in case of accidents. I have a lot of love and time to give to any guest we may have in our home.
