Building a Dog Paddock

claudiaSeptember 26, 2010Animals, Family, On the Farm

When you have three Great Danes, you don’t just build a dog pen. You build a dog paddock. And that’s exactly what Mike and Adrian have been doing this month. In the country, we’ve noticed a lot of folks don’t fence their dogs in. But our city-slicker Danes don’t have much country sense, and we know they’ll be off chasing coyotes, cows, dogs or horses first chance they get. So, when they’re not by our side, the Danes now have their own private paddock. And I must say, it’s nicer than a lot of the horse paddocks I’ve seen. Maybe one day we’ll put a pony in it. Thanks, boys!
