I also suggest the inside idea and crate train them if they can't be trusted in the house alone (Destiny had to be crate trained because she was getting into too much trouble and now Sierra is the one in the crate and Destiny's okay out due to her being a little older and knowing the rules better)! So many people have goofed around about steeling our girls but that brings me to think that outsiders might actually consider it. We've never had any real problems but our girls are kept inside and when they go out to play, I try to keep checking on them to make sure that they are not getting into any trouble and to make sure they're still with me (not much time passes between checks either, those are my babies)!
