Pets

We live in a rural place and I imagine that most of the time, it'll be potty outside and absolutely we know we need to establish that first, but I think the fresh patch might be a good idea.

I'm planning on using temporary fencing in the front of the house to give her an outdoor space to go potty so she associates it with peeing and pooping.

We've had five of our dogs in this house since 2008 and they all went potty outside. We live on a lake and have three sides fenced in, and used to let the dogs out the back at night to pee and come back. We stopped that when our dog Blake was kicked by a deer in November. After that, we took him out in the front on a leash.

We're going to put a fence from the corner of the house to one of the side fences to give her a secure place to play when she's older. She, like the others, will one day learn the exciting words, "Wanna go down to the dock??"
