Premium Member My dogs have an enormous play yard
My dogs have an enormous play yard Much better than being in a kennel or tied up Still, I feel guilty when they are up there alone. So, I trot up there to keep them company. I sit in this play yard forty minutes at a time. Writing while they settle into the play of dog. We have six acres of...
