I've stayed inside with rainy weather for too long now. So I headed out in the drizzle and decided it was time to redo the dogs tie-lines. They spend a majority of their time on tie lines. They can both climb and dig through any fence. So tie lines are the safest option in a village where animal control is animal shooting. The trees had overgrown their view of the house- and they both dearly like to see in the windows and front door. So I chopped a little 'window' in the alder for them to view from, and then moved their tie lines to an open area where they could also view the cabin. They're much happier now. Barking and demanding things- and knowing when I look out the window to tell them "No more treats- you've already had too many today!"
