Today Gracie is experiencing the cruelty that is ‘being left out in the yard’ . She is yipping, barking and howling and has herself worked up into a total state. I am trying hard to ignore her which is difficult. Plus I need to go into the kitchen and if she sees me I will relent and let her in the house!

Training is difficult – we want to be able to leave her on her own at some point. At the moment she has round the clock attention from us and we cannot be slaves to a small dog!

I am going to have to let her in!!!!
