Dog Yard, Sweet Dog Yard

My little Fury is back out in the dog yard! While it is always nice to cuddle with my dogs, having one live in the house always reminds me that they are working dogs. They have very few manners. Two weeks of Fury was starting to wear thin, especially after she went to the bathroom on my carpet at 3am. It would have been understandable, if she hadn't been outside for 4 hours right before. For the last few days, she was spending nights outside. This was due to the high-pitched howling occurring every night. Whether inside or out, she would bark and yip to her friends up in the yard. It was easier to handle when she was outside. However, the other night, it was so loud that I just brought her inside at 3am. Within ten minutes, she had left me a nice little present.I think Fury was starting to hate being a pet too.
Therefore, as soon as she got her sutures out, she went straight back up into the yard. She did 5 quick sprints around her area and then sat atop her barrel wagging her tail. We both recognized that the dog yard is her home.

Meanwhile, Bill and the racers are traveling south. He's hoping to make it to Montana by tomorrow. As long as the dogs behave and there are no truck issues, they should be fine. Apparently, the dogs are going stir crazy. After racing for so long, they are all wound up. Plus, a few females are in heat, so Bill has to isolate them away from the males. It'll be good when we can get everyone back in their familiar spots. To do so, I'll be spending the next few days fixing chains, cleaning the yard, and organizing the dogs. I am so ready to have all 37 pups back!
