I have never felt comfortable in small, crowded spaces. Just have to convince the city raised, urban loving husband that its better to live in the middle of no where. Sara E.

I have no doubt that things would be very different if we lived in the suburbs. Being in a busier environment would definitely up his anxiety. It gives me no end of pleasure to see him totally relaxed with the peace and quiet of home. The fact that you are considering a move just for Ruby makes me think you're a pretty special person. She's lucky to have you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11231081927797107249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-81383242075829512502015-11-19T14:28:44.577-07:002015-11-19T14:28:44.577-07:00Lovely post.

Our next house we want at least 1 acre so that I can build a little flyball lane and agility course! :-) I'd like to be able to play with the dogs in the comfort of my own large backyard as opposed to public off-leash areas where I have to constantly be scanning for dumb ass dog owners and off-leash menaces.Dz Dog Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13009070542545035600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-58708216976634400872015-11-19T13:38:05.178-07:002015-11-19T13:38:05.178-07:00I don't think you're crazy for wanting a y...I don't think you're crazy for wanting a yard for Ruby. I really hope that we can have one for the girls someday, too! Having a yard definitely makes everything easier.

Is it silly to move for a dog? Never. It's silly to move to impress your peers and get a more-car garage. Impressing dogs is totally reasonable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
