are those common houses in your area? I've never seen houses without fences. must be nice to be able to trust your neighbor...
Yeah, we are all part of one sub-division/association. The only people that are required to have fences are the ones that have pools. Eveyone else, it's up to you whether or not you want one in your yard. We personally do not because the family behind us has three boys that are about the same ages as my two boys, so they are always running back and forth from yard to yard. We don't want to close that off. Thankfully, our dog knows her boundries as well and she doesn't go in our neighbor's yards unless we are outside with her... The new neighbors to the west of us have a Lab puppy though that is always running around in everyone's yards, so I have a bad feeling that they are going to have to put up a fence sometime this summer...
Now that you're finally done can you let the dog come out and play he looks like he's missed being outside or something.
Yeah, she was locked up a lot of the time while it was being built just so that she didn't fall off the end while the railings were still being put on. She's a lazy dog anyway; she only does a few laps around the yard before she lays down in the grass and falls asleep. It is pretty funny though seeing her laying on the deck too; she likes laying in the sun, so now she's always spralled out on the deck. I'll have to take a picture of her and post it in the pets section...
Thanks again for all the compliments everyone!
