But I want to ask you this question -- and you can pretend I'm looking straight into your eyes, because this is sooo important to me.
Do you think your baby would stop at your yard boundary if a deer or rabbit appeared or if a child going by in a stroller was crying?
If you believe he would, or if you have seen him do it, I will try as hard as I can. My heart would be in my throat if I saw Marley tearing across the yard with a car coming. It's not the front car that I fear as much as the cart or car coming second that I think would get him.
Thank you again for your thoughtful and well written reply. |
I'm not sure who you are replying to since you didn't quote anyone. But to answer your question, No I do not think Uni would stop if a deer or child or cat or whatever ran by, that is why in the back yard we have a 6 ft high fence, and we don't play in the front yard where we don't have a fence (not allowed). If she's in the front she's on her harness or she is held.
