I have three large pens inside the fenced yard. Several can be out and they also get the run of the yard when we go out to play.

I used to leave them out in the pens until I found the remnants of bottle rockets in the pen one day. Poor dog was barraged while I was gone. My friend got her back glass door damaged from BBs a neighbor was shooting at her dog in a pen the other day.

I don't leave any of them out unless someone is home. We normally go out with them. Hogan doesn't want to go out without a playmate so he stands up behind me and pushes me out the door first anyway. If I try to go inside and leave him, he lays down and wraps his front legs around my ankles.
