| I have a fenced yard and a big GR that keeps watch over the yorkies. I will only let them out for 10 minutes with out checking on them but Yes they do go out alone with my big 83 pound GR with them. |

| We have a picket fence in the front of our backyard. The rest is privacy fenced. But our little girls can fit through the pickets so I cannot even take them outside unless they are on a leash. My big dog goes outside by himself all the time though. He is taller than my picket fence but he never jumps it LOL. |

| We just had this discussion last night at dinner. We are building this summer and have foxes on our property, not to mention all sorts of big birds of prey, soooo....... Off my office will be a fenced in pup-yard complete with a top so no one can get at Milo from the air either. The door out there will have a doggie door too. I'm kind of excited as it's one more space for me to design! I'm thinking a miniture version of Washington Park's doogie park in NYC complete with benches. |

| Noooooooooooooo Way!!!!! My boy goes out on a run and Mommy is always right there watching between birds of prey, coyotes, fox etc... I would never be able to handle it if something happened to him because I didn't feel like being out with him, besides he is so used to it he freaks if he can't see me when he is outside.

| Never ever! For several reasons... 1) Unfortunately you can't trust people. 2) We have a pool so I have to watch even though Vixxen knows and swims 3) We leave where a few "wild animals" may be present and think they are little snacks!

| I leave Cozy (10.5) outside with my 100 pound golden, Lucky, for 5-20 minutes at a time. Lucky won't let anything within 10 feet of her and he is always within 5 feet of her. When he barks she will run onto my back porch which is covered until he comes and get her. |

| I'm always outside with them. They only go out to potty, then right back in. If I am in the yard and they want to be out, in the X-pen they go. Sissy found every single teeny weeny space she could possibly squeeze under in our fence with us right there!!! I figure they have so many toys and rough house all the time they don't need to be outside. So other than pottying, we will go to the park or take walks when it is nice.
