  I didn't think I would ever leave Thor outside unsupervised.  As he has gotten older, and bigger, I'm not so nervous about it.  Probably the longest he's been in the back yard (which is fenced) is 30-45, supervised by his big sister Izzy (a lab).  I check on him, he's usually sitting on the hill keeping an eye on the birds, dogs, people in the park in front of our house.  He has stayed on the screened in porch longer.  He just loves to be outside.  When I move to Cali I won't let him out of my sight outside.  I have lived here for 21 years and it is a very tight community, I feel he is safe, but I wouldn't trust it in another area.  |
