I waited so long to get Summerlin that I am terrified to let her be anywhere unsupervised... I hate to even leave her at home alone while I am at work. Outside, she is never off of the leash, and at the recreation center no one but me or my husband is allowed to hold the leash. I don't mind people petting her; I want her to be friendly, but no one else loves her like I do, so they would not exercise the same caution I do. I am constantly on the lookout for anything bad... We live out in the woods, and hawks are only one predator that I have to worry about
