Oh - we've had Jake for going on 8 years and we haven't let him out in the yard until lately, when we had some unusual circumstances come up. We usually take him right to the kennel. I would hate for anybody to think I was the sort of person not to keep my dogs restrained.

That's what upsets me - that this woman was watching so closely that she knew immediately when he happened to be out off leash. What does she do? Sit in her window waiting?
