The fenced in yard is also in the middle of three acres with no trees around. There are 8 windows and two doors (one door is all glass French doors) that look out to the fenced in area where she is not at for very long periods of time unless she is laying out in the sun. The fence is checked at least once a week for problems sometimes more. The fence can not be seen from the street and even though we are not in an area where there are things stolen there is a lock on the gate. Every situation has to be judge separately. I have only seen deer and bunnys in here so far. Callie is 16 pounds. All our neighbors have dogs. |
I can't believe you advocate for doggie doors after your own experience with Callie. There's no reason for you to stay inside and have her go alone-- go with her for crying out loud!! There are fisher cats here and a lady had her foot mangled while fighting it off to protect her LARGE dog!
