Yorkiedaze, I lost my puppy Chilly two years ago. He was on a leash so that he couldn't get into any trouble. Well, trouble found him. When I went back out to check on him, he was dead, just like that. One eye out, blood coming out of one ear and not another mark that I could find. My husband's deduction: An owl or hawk had tried to carry him off, but couldn't because of the leash; while up in the air the bird dropped him back to the ground. The fall killed him.
So a leash is good, only as long as you're outside with your babies. I'll never make that mistake again. My two year old Loqi has never been out alone. Never! And he never will. Losing Chilly broke me; I don't want anything like that to happen again.
Just be careful, OK?
