What on earth are you talking about ???
Of course my dog lives in my backyard......where else would he live ???
We have a decent rainfall in this part of the country, so he has lots of muddy puddles to drink out of, not to mention a dead cat I throw him for dinner each night !!!!! (Just kidding) .
The truth is....he has a great kennel, nice and warm and dry, lots of toys, certainly LOTS of attention, three meals a day, and a great big yard to run around in.
I'm sorry Lablover, that I haven't provided him with the latest Madonna style diamond necklace, but believe me.....for my little Border Collie pup...life is good !!!!!! Certainly much better than his siblings and parents, who are cattle dogs on a nearby cattle station...well...all they get is shouted at, a couple of sheets of roof iron to sleep under, the occassional kangaroo leg to feed on....AND...if they are lucky....they might get stomped on by an angry bull.
So don't you worry about my dog...k ???? He's probably better looked after than yours.
