so my dog Valorie LOVES to be outside. we dont have a fenced in back yard so she is chained to the front of the shed with a long leash when she wants to chill outside for a few hous (dont worry she has a dog house, blankets, food, water, and shade inside the shed... its actually quite nice and she comes inside when it is cold, rains, or at night).
about 3 months ago i was getting ready to hook her up and then she just started running (someone/thing cut her chain in half) and i kinda walked after her thinking she would go to the front door. nope. she ran right out into the street.... and got hit by a car. i dont know who screamed louder, me or her. she came whimpering back to me and layed down at my feet. i started crying and i picked her up (i know, i know... bad decision... i panicked!) and i took her inside. i yelled at my mom to help me becuase val just got hit.
i set her down and val stood up, walked across the room just fine, no limps or anything and started chewing on he bone...
the only thing that was wrong was she had a little bald spot on her head... i saw the car run over her but she was fine... scariest time of my life.
so today, i look out my window and the little booger is running around across the street! my dad hooked her up fine and her collar isnt broken! i dont know what i would do if she got hit again and she wasnt as lucky as last time. luckily my neighbor saw her and caught her.
sorry its so long but i had to vent about her. i love her to death but she has got to be the stupidest dog on earth.i'm thinking i should tell my mom that after we get back on our feet (financially speaking) that we should get a fence put in our back yard. so my question to you is what kind of fence do you have and do you guys think an electric fence or a chain fence would be better for a dog?
