Okay, as you all probably know there is a Golden that lives in the house in back of my street. We always see him when we go for a walk (Mickey and me). Now, I checked and Bull (I nicknamed him that because I always thought he was being a bully when he'd bark, but when I found out its cause he wants to play, I dropped the -y Hehe) he has a dog house but I don't see any bowls around. There is a basketball and a kiddie pool that he chews on. (the kiddie pool is deflated) He is always outside and has to stay walking around in his poop, which I don't really see being cleaned up, and mud. He pushed the board that blocks him from escaping from the yard, way out. He can stick his neck through. Anyways, he and Mickey were playing today. Like, actually playing. They run along the fence (dragging me along *sigh*) and get into the pouncing position. I know they wanna play and this poor dog just waits for Mickey to come by each day. He is actually there, waiting.

I told my mom and she said that we can't do anything about it and to stop walking Mickey along that street. I know it would be a good idea so the two won't have to bare with separating and start whining and crying, but then again - Mickey comming by is probably Bull's only way of playing or having any possible excercise.

So should I stop walking Mickey along that street? Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
