Lawn Ornaments

Do you know someone who has a dog, but the only time it's ever out is when it's chained to a fence or a post? I wish people would understand that dogs are domesticated animals who need to live with and be loved by people. If you "own" a dog, he needs to be part of your family. If you always leave him out in the yard he will become a "bad" dog who will not be cooperative. This is because dogs, like people, get depressed when they do not get enough love and attention. So if you are really too busy to own a dog don't make your dog a "lawn ornament." Get a snake. They don't need to be fed every day and they don't need attention. You could go away for a couple of weeks and no one will care.
