It's your business what you do with your dog, not the government's, and honestly, more people get bitten by dogs running loose then dogs that are chained. Awesome doghouse, I'll be building one similar, pitched roof though, or my dog will use it to jump my fence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-45632253645545415682012-11-25T19:16:47.159-05:002012-11-25T19:16:47.159-05:00Glad to see someone who loves their dog.

I rely on my small house dog to set up a ruckus, wake me up, and allow me the joy of blowing away any intruder. For that, he's invaluable. lotta joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742978845913126675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-31952952418733538272012-11-24T15:33:54.005-05:002012-11-24T15:33:54.005-05:00He absolutely loves it.

It was for everyone's protection. The dog was well taken care of, happy, lived a long life. We sometimes suspected my brother loved that dog more than the rest of us, LOL! There's nothing inhumane about a dog on a chain/run as long as it's well cared for, as Dukey obviously is.

When I was a kid we had a belgium shepherd who used to have to have a logging chain and he still would break the chain from time to time. Dukey will break his chain now and then too but these days usually sticks around instead of going to eat the neighbors cats like he used to. becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-91297438517957839792012-11-23T21:23:32.017-05:002012-11-23T21:23:32.017-05:00I am getting way more page views that usual for so...I am getting way more page views that usual for some reason.

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and I did a little Black Friday shopping myself, picked up some dog food, a new goat mineral block and a 20% off flannel shirt at Tractor Supply, plus hubby got some new Schmidt jeans. Oh and a few things at Lowe's, but no malls or busy places for me!!
