My boys will be kept on their leashes AT ALL TIMES when outside...where, of course, we will be with them. We have an electric fence, but that obviously wouldn't make much difference if they got scared and ran through it, or if someone wanted to take them. We haven't had any real problems with dog theft or anything like that, but you never know. Most people back away when they see Crash and Bruiser anyway, but we're not taking any chances LOL.

We are going out later tonight to watch the fireworks at a local park where people are allowed to bring their dogs, so we will be bringing them with us...but kept very close and always on their leashes.

This was a great post! Great idea Ash!
