I am in Bonner springs and sadly there is so many animals running lose in our trailer park no one really does anything about it. Like I said, my shelties are trained, they only go outside to potty and come back in unless we are out playing with them, they don't go near the road or chase animals. But they do defend the house, if something or someone comes near them they run to the door and stand guard barking the heads off like crazy lol. Milo is just a tiny little pup and I would NEVER leave him outside unsupervised. I am also very picky about my kids. My seven year old hates me because I have NEVER and NEVER will let them go outside and play with an adult supervising them at all times. I am a stickler on this and she doesn't have a lot of friends because of it. So many kids run the streets in this neighboorhood from the age of two up and it's CRAZY!!!
When I had a fenced backyard they got to play outside but only with me checking on them every couple of minutes. I am just to scared of all the crazy people out there. My family and friends say I am to overprotective of both my dogs. cats and kids. My cats also NEVER EVER go outside except to the vet. LOL - overprotective mom!
