We have only one neighbor that has dogs and they treat their yard and dogs too so we are very lucky in that aspect. I don't know what my dogs would do if they were never allowed outside. They love to go out and sun themselves and I believe the sun and outdoors is good for them. Makes them healthy and helps with their immune system 
I hate giving things I dont' have too.... |
I've had so many people tell me they never had a problem with fleas...so lucky. I didn't until last summer and it was aweful. It all started when I took Lacy to someone's house that had fleas

It was bad.. If I had a house where they never left my yard, I'd probably try to go without it too...a lot of people don't have issues with fleas. But where I live I have to walk my dogs around the complex and there are lots of dogs around and I take them to daycare sometimes where I know grooming dogs come in with fleas..fleas just stink!..at least I get free flea preventatives through school
