| Fenced in yard for Kizzy We are getting estimates to have our yard fenced in for Kizzy. I hate her having to wear harnesses. It looks like its breaking off her hair just on her shoulders. I just got the silk one Monday so maybe that will help, but once our yard gets fenced, I will refuse to put a harness on her when we are home. That way I can let her run out and potty by herself because sometimes If I'm busy (like cooking) I just cant leave food cooking to go out with her if I'm here alone. But today I took her out to potty without her harness and she took off and got all way to the lake. I Happened to think how she loves riding in our golf cart. we ride to the lake, to feed the fish or just fish and she goes with us. I can see all the way around the lake from my deck since its close to the house. So I jumped in the golf cart and as soon as she heard the motor she almost broke her neck running back to get in it and ride. So I rode her around a bit and she was happy and all I had to do then was pick her up and bring her in the house from the golf cart. She really gave me a scare. But My sister lives just on the other side of our lake and I knew she would head up that way as my sister has a dog too. Anyway, there is woods still between our houses on the sides and no telling where she would end up if she got out in the woods. Everytime she gets close to the golf cart she jumps up in it and I have to litterly pick her up and get her out. She loves it more than me I think. I'm just so thankful she loves it now.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Little speed demon - she sounds too cute with that Golf Cart - I can't blame her - they're FUN... and you'll LOVE having a fenced in place for her - I still watch my girls & they're out usually only with me - but I can step into the house to get the phone or whatever without the worry. Good luck |

| I think getting a fenced in yard for Kizzy is an GREAT idea! We live in an apartment at the moment, and it IS such a pain in the butt to stop everything I'm doing to put the doggy's harnesses on and take them outside when they need to go to the bathroom. My parents' yard is fenced in, and it is SO nice when we go over there...we just open the door to let the doggies run out and go potty then they come right back to the door. I am really looking forward to the day when we'll have a fenced in yard. You will REALLY enjoy it, and I am sure Kizzy will, too. When you get your yard fenced in, she will be able to hang out outside and explore. |

| My previous Yorkie used to love the golf cart too. If she heard it start she would come on the run. It hasn't been running very well this year so neither Ollie or Chachi have gotten to ride on it yet. |

| You will just love the fenced in yard!! My yard was fenced but to close it in I needed to put a Large gate across the driveway. I have two tenants that use the driveway along with myself, so as you can see I did not know whether it would work out or not. Decided I was going to try it, and it has been the best thing I have done. At times a little inconvenient but on the whole it works. They are able to run around with each other and at times I find myself laughing out loud at them , they are so funny at times. Enjoy!! |

| Glad you got her back! You'll probably be surprised at how much more she will prefer to be outside once she has a fenced yard.
