@jordandwilly - Thanks for clearing that up.... 9-5 is just fine, IMO.... I work and have always had to leave mine when I was at work, never an issue. That said, we were able to set up the house that access to the backyard (with 10 to 12' privacy fences) with a doggy door and a dog room in the house for them, Locks on the gates so there is NO access for anyone. Dogs sleep 90% of the day so being at work doesn't bother them... never have mine even when I had a litter in the house (And have been in the breed as owner/breeder for 35+ years). You can hire a dog walker to take them out mid day..which is a good solution. and give them a mid day meal depending on their age. I do not and never have used free feeding, period. Especially if you have more that one... you never know what/who is eating what. And you can set up camera's on line to watch them from "afar".... LOL. Keep in mind people that many of us need to work and have day jobs. The most important thing is the time you need to spend with them when you are home. Example would be, if you have young children and you work... when you get home you are going to spend your time with your human children... NO dog would be happy if left out... they need their time also because they are a family member and need as much time as a human child. Again in my opinion
Basenji Park Indy???

I don't think 2 b's meet the minimum requirement, but they sure will like it when it's done.

Super!!!! is this your yard? They will love it

It is our yard, the pictures were from an upstairs window. I can't wait to let them run back there:D
-
<sniff>if only there were yards like that in the Bay Area.
I miss having a yard.</sniff> -
Oh what fun. I can't wait to se some pics when you are done of the crazy races your two will have.
-
What a nice yard you have, I love the trees, I'm having trees planted in my yard next month

I miss having a yard.</sniff>There is at my house…. and for that I am very grateful!

We live in an apartment so no yard…I'm envious! They are going to love that yard!!!
Funny thing, dogs seriously change you in ways that a child would. Mark & I's lease runs up in Nov & already we are looking at renting a house with a yard [if not buying] vs. getting back into an apartment solely because of Dallas. Haha.

Here is part of our yard.. and yes in the summer they love to "sun" on top of the SPA
-
So, so envious Pat! What a lovely yard!
-
That yard is going to be an excellent "race track" for your dogs! I miss having a yard and can't wait to get out of our rented townhouse so we can get a place that has a fenced backyard for our little guy. I always feel guilty that he can't run around at "full-tilt" because he's on a leash. (In our complex there are LOTS of bunnies and Jackpot would be gone in a flash if he wasn't on a leash!)
Can't wait to see pics when the fence is done and the dogs are running around!

I am in the exact same situation as you! I live in a duplex with no fence, and we are looking to buy a house when our lease is up just so we could have a yard with a fence for ours!

Hey Nexa, I am in Lebanon.
on my way over :pWe usually go to the Eagle Creek park, but yours looks like more fun.

Things are beginning to look up for military folks who have dogs but no yards. I drove through a navy housing complex behind the big NEX at Pearl Harbor and they are building what will be a really awesome "Bark Park" right in the middle of the housing compound!!

We are in a town house with no yard, so Blaze gets stuck on a long leash. I make it up to him by taking him out to the farm every other weekend, so he runs free on a 1/4 section of land with the farm dog. He sleeps for three days when we get home.
