[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 531203, member: 84"] Starbie, I totally hear ya. But I've dealt with a gypsie dog (to some extent, Rowdy always comes home and is not gone long) for 13 yrs. I'm not just re-doing the front fence/gate for Sadie, I was going to do it for Rowdy anyway so he wouldn't have to be on the lead when he's in the yard. I won't chase her down, I'm just that way. Even with an animal, either you want to be with me or you don't. (not to mention chasing after them can become a never ending game) She did great in the yard this morning off the lead for quite a long time. If she approached the gate I told her no and she left it alone. So at least I can be with her in the yard with no lead so she can run and play. The only real money I'll be investing is mostly her spaying because I will not have puppies ever again. If for whatever reason she just does not work out, the re-homing fee will be the cost of shots, worming and spaying. Not unreasonable. Now I'm unsure about the crate thing. I thought she wasn't crate trained because she put up such a fuss the first time she used it. Last night and today, she's totally fine with the crate, no fuss at all. Only thing is she's not eager to go inside. I hope it stays that way as it makes my life so much easier. [/QUOTE]
