Default Re: I could not believe my eyes.

We plan on a courtyard villa...a MAJOR reason for which is so our dog can go in our own back yard and not someone else's. My wife and I do not even have a meeting of the minds on this. She believes when you walk a dog it is recreational for the dog, meaning the dog should be let to do whatever it wants whereever it wants.

My principles and practice is the dog should do business only in the owners (my) yard. Walking is for exercise and non-excrementary recreation (did I just invent a new word?) - showing off, looking at the sights, sniffing the air, etc.. In other words, we keep walking.
