Do u walk ur baby after dark?

[R_Z]

We are fortunate to live in a gated community of zero lot line homes. The homes are relatively close to one another with not much of a backyard. I generally walk Bailey about 10pm each night around the block. While having the gate is certainly a false sense of security, it is a great benefit and we feel safe enough to walk.

Yes ! but I have to be super careful , cause right now we are getting alot of frogs. Miley the first yr we got here , she eat one and that was a total mess, cause I didnt know what to do.
So now I just walk really hard and make noise so the frogs get out of the way and keep my eyes on her. Max dont care he doesnt go after them.

after dark all the time, but we don't go as far as during daylight hours. I stay in my large yard after dark. I live in a pecan orchard with woods all around and there are coyotes, so I wear a head light that puts light anywhere I turn my head. I do get spooked sometimes by the occasional possum, armadillo, and stray cat, but most times it's deer that startle me. When they get a whiff of us they snort at us which makes me jump no matter how I expect to hear it,LOL. I also have hubby watch us through a window just in case. Even though we have security lights, the head lamp is a wonderful thing to have if you have to take night breaks with your babies like I do.

Heck no..... I'm afraid to walk them during the day after Bitsy was attacked by a loose Husky. I do like the idea of pepper spray and I'm going to buy one tomorrow.

I'd rather take Princess out at wee hours of the morning instead of between dark & 2 a.m. or so, people leaving bars, etc. She's pad trained so if we go out it's just for fun but we stay close. It's pretty quiet here but that's not a guarantee. I always have my phone at the ready just in case & feel safe that she'll smell/hear/see trouble in time to warn me.

One morning I was leaving for work at 4:30 & glanced out the window as I opened the door to see a man walking. Scared the crap out of me, then I saw it was my neighbor who was "having a late night". I will admit that any time I can take Princess with me after dark I do-every single time I can! I feel safer with all 9 lbs. of her with me.
