I have decided to be magnanimous...I have my very own backyard! No rope, no leash, and I can see out 2 sides... I tested the fence a little, but digging down a couple inches I still hit fence, so I stopped. Now I consider everything inside the fence to be mine. I play with Mom's wash bucket, I eat up treelings, and I find whatever mud I can. Also pictured, a BOY that Mom saved one night and took to the local shelter the next day. I never did decide if I liked him or not, he was a little snarly when I tried to chew on his ear.
