Just for some background, she is my first dog so I'm not experienced at all. My DH has had dogs before though growing up. We got her as a rescue, she was a street dog in Bulgaria.
When she first arrived she was very nervous and thin and she's taken a long while to get more relaxed and used to being here and with us. She's come on absolute leaps and bounds and is lovely with other dogs, people and kids so we've been super lucky with her. She's a generally timid dog by nature.
So anyway this may seem like a really stupid question/ comment and totally happy to be told that but I worry about her! I work from home and she's with me all day. She gets a walk over lunch with me every day and apart from that we're just in the house or garden. My question is this, I sometimes put her in the garden because it's a big space and I imagine her running about but she just sits in the middle and stares at the door waiting for me to let her in. It seems like she'd rather just sit in the house, is that normal? She doesn't want to run around or be outside at all. See now I type it I think it's a stupid question but I just had visions of her running around outside . It means she's just in with me apart from the one walk (during the week).
