I have things I need to sculpt...Β Staff heads for my bro so he can sell them and I can make a commission and maybe move out of The House of Whiny Dogs like I've been dreaming about for a long time.Β Β And if I take on the obligation of posting something every day...
Idk tho... I mean it wasn't like I was planning on doing anything super complex for inktober in the first place.Β I might still go for it.

Well... mainly one.Β My mom got a third puppy who's left in a cage a lot because she's not potty trained and nobody has the time or desire to train her with any sort of speed.Β
I mean I can't TOTALLY blame the dog because being left in a cage that much has to suck, but it grates on my nerves so much...
It would be a shame to skip .Β I've done it every year for several years now.

I'd say slightly smaller than a full grown cat but I'm guessing since it's a dog, it'd probably weigh what a full grown cat would weigh

I would say if itβs over five pounds a hawk wouldnβt bother it. When my puppies were that size I left them out and left a window opened so I could hear them. If sheβs worried she could put one of the other dogs with it outside.

I doubt either parent would listen. They'd still see hawks as a rIsK and continue to keep the dog in a cage.

I think a puppy being insane from life in a cage is a bigger risk. I always just made sure there was a big dog around when the puppies were loose.
What breed is it?

Unless itβs a toy breed, it should be big enough to be outside during the day.

I just wish mom would train the dog. Or pay someone else to do it. This isnt fair to anyone involved...

I think Novaβs last accident in the garage happed when she was 12 weeks and that was because she wouldnβt go outside in the dark with deer in the yard.

Wow.Β She must be a prodigy.Β No dog we've ever had is smart enough to pick up on that so soon.

The thing is that most of ours are outdoor dogs. I had the pups I bred 90% trained by eight weeks. (They always had a door opened to the outside, and the inside pen was small enough to keep them from wanting to mess in it.) With Nova, she had an open door, so she learned pretty fast. I just didn't let her in the house unattended when she was little.Β

(I was being sarcastic in that last post, by the way.Β I'm sure the dogs would be fine if they were trained right.Β Probably.)
That's the optimal way to keep dogs imo

Even Piper was pretty easy since she was outside. The only hard one was Sam and that was because he was likely from a puppy mill and was sick.
