As it's nice weather, we've been spending a fair amount of time outside in the garden. The puppy (10weeks or thereabouts) has been out with us, zooming about, or lying in the shade just watching.
When I come in to make dinner/take children to the loo/etc, I've left her outside as it seems a shame to make her come in. If the chickens are out too, she's tied on a long lead as she's not 100% reliable as far as not chasing goes.
I take it that allowing dogs in the garden unsupervised for short periods of time is ok? (Dog dunce- last dog I had we lived in a flat without a garden.)
What about when I do the school run (half an hour)? I've been bringing her in and putting her in a safe room (she's not had all her jabs yet so can't come with me). That feels a bit mean, but it feels wrong to leave her in the garden if I'm not there.
What would you do?
