 Happy New Year to all of you!  Thank you so much for the warm welcome.  My poor baby Samson has to stay outside because my husband and younger son are both allergic to him.  This breaks everyone's hearts (Samson's included) but it can't be helped.  It is quite cold here right now, so I keep having to go outside and break up his water.  (it is freezing)  We don't have him chained up or anything, he is locked in the old (nonworking) greenhouse.  It has plenty of room for a puppy to run and play.  We have been bringing him into the house for a little while each day, at least until the allergies become intolerable!  What is the best way to teach him the boundaries of our property, since we don't have a fence up yet? (We are planning on that in the spring)  I will begin walking him along the property line as soon as I get a chance.  I am just very nervous about letting him loose on his own.  Any suggestions?  Thank you so much!

Kristi
