This is both a rant and a rave and this topic interests me.
I live on 1/2 acre wooded. My back property is natural forest and for the last couple years I am finding evidence of people using it. I find beer bottles, vodka bottles and assorted trash out there.
Someone is apparently walking his dog out there while I sleep and letting it crap all over.
The last straw was finding a pair of underwear. I nearly gagged.
I am also fed up with having to go out with Chloe and follow her around, while keeping an eye out for other people's dogs coming around. This is very inconvenient in the winter and I'm tired of pulling on boots and coat the second I wake up.
She does have a cable, but she gets wrapped around the trees instantly and even if she didn't I could not leave her out on it for fear of other dogs.
Now that the weather is nice, poor Chloe really wants out. I took her out to pee the other day, and she flopped down on the warm pine needles, giving me a look that said "Can't I stay out here for a little while?" Of course the answer was "No".
So, I have decided to have a fence put up and clean out my piggy bank.
For the first time since she came to live with me, Chloe will be a free dog on her own property.
I will see how it goes, but I have no intention of EVER leaving her out there when I am not home.
YAY!!!!!!!!! I"m getting a fence!!!!!!
