I am, I think...the blinds are up so she can see out...she is in the backyard with my Tony and I am
getting ready for my grandson's 1st birthday party...It's just that when I read that Pyrs jump out
of windows...I could imagine glass all over the place and a dog not only in distress but possibly
maimed from the experience!

True.

Oh, I know...I really do. She is so sweet and I know that she'll get so much love and attention in
my home...but I want to provide her with the best home possible just like my other dogs. I've read
not to have a chain link fence under 6'. That they go out of windows...other things...what happened
was that I was fearing for her very life and happiness and at the same time for my mental health!

That's why I came to this list...for support. I'm getting that and more...all those who have
responded have been wonderful...thank you all so very much. Gotta get ready for the party!
