Oh for sure! My Molly would have been trampled on by our wild Lab if she had to go outside. OR picked up by a Hawk or even a Mountain lion which was once spotted on the hill behind us and we had a pack of coyotes there too this year. A mama and her babies. Oh.. and let me not forget the scorpion that my lab was fighting with one night at midnight and had the neighbors call me over!
As for the pattern... I almost bought the pretty pink ones, but I think I ended up with dogs at the beach. I figured they would match better with my carpet and furniture.
lol Also got the same so that she wouldn't get confused. Dork, I know....
