Don't get a dog if you are just getting it for critter control in the back
yard. Dogs are really social critters and require love and attention.
Getting a dog to just leave it penned up in the yard is cruel and unusual
punishment. It would consider itself part of your family and wonder what it
did wrong to be excluded from family life.

So if this is your wish then 2 dogs would be kinder so they could be family
to each other.


Thank you for stating this. If you hadn't said something, I would have.
