Free In The Yard

As mentioned before, we have been working to give our girl some "free" time in the yard. It has to be under very specific conditions so she is successful (aka we aren't freaking out because she ran away). The day of our fall photoshot, we let her run around the yard. She was attached to her tie out, but it wasn't attached to anything. The pups had a lot of fun!

Exploring Our Yard

Lady and Man (and the bank) own 3 acres of land. About 1 and bit acre is the house and lawn and driveway. The rest is woods. In the summer, when the brush is thick, we don't go into the woods much. Lady keeps saying they will clear a path or two, we will believe her when . . . . Anyway, now that things are dying, we get to walk in it.

This week has been amazing. While it has been near 0C in the morning, the afternoons have been warm 18C/65F. This is at least 10 degrees C warmer than usual. We have been loving it!

Lady says it is a tough walk because Hailey and she always go opposite ways around trees.

So far, Phod hasn't lost Precious in the bush. Lady pays extra close attention to where she throws it. 

See the house they are building at the end of the road? We can sneak up and look at it.

Such great places to sniff and smell and roll. And if we are fast, we can sneak some deer poop for a snack! 

Our Yard - A Tour

Before our scheduled post a message from the Lady:

We are going to be off the grid for a few days. Our scheduled posts will come up, but we won't be around. See the Man was admitted to the hospital last night after 24 hours in the ER. He has some sort of bowel obstruction. They don't know much else yet, but now that he is out of the ER things will hopefully be sorted out. Please send some POTP to our Man.

People have asked, so we thought we would share some pictures of our back and side yard - the bush parts. We own 3 acres.

In previous pictures, when you have seen fairly flat grass, that is our front yard and a little to the side.

This is going down the far left (when looking at the house, the road behind you) side of the yard

The Hydro pole is about the back of the yard (there is nothing but bush behind us, so we can walk on that to). This is looking right after you come down where Lee was in the picture before. 

Here we are at the back left corner looking up to the hose

Another look up behind the house. At the top of this hill is where the grass is. That is the cleared part of the yard.

Instead of going up the hill to the house you can continue through the bush to the right of the house

This is towards the right most edge of the yard. There is one lot between us and the 'main' road, which is currently empty but was recently purchased so a house may go there. This is Man walking toward our private road. Our plan, if it ever starts raining is to cut some nicer paths in this. 

From the edge of the yard looking at the house. The brown roof is ours and the green is our neighbours. 

That is a little tour to show you what our yard is like. Hope you enjoyed it!
