I think I'm probably the least protective puppy momma to post on this thread
I think dogs should be allowed outside if they want to go. Walker is a people lover and we go out all the time downtown. German's love their dogs
so we have plenty of other dogs to sniff around etc. I'm not paranoid (maybe not the right word. I'm not trying to offend you. haha.) about illness since I come from the mindset that if you're going to get sick, you will and as long as you take common sense precautions there is no need to panic.
I love your avatar pic btw. makes me giggle
