I wanted to get one at the beginning of the summer, and checked every day to see if WalMart had gotten them in yet (I was working there at the time), but wound up deciding against it. I know Ein would LOVE it, but the lady that owns the land that our trailer park is on is a huge b****, and I know she'd never go for it. We can't put up a fence without her permission, and Ein can't be outside without a leash or a fence (I don't want him to run off, and she doesn't want any dogs off leash for any reason, for any amount of time). Somehow I think if I ask her if I can put up a fence so that he can play off leash, she's going to remind me that she said dogs must be on a leash at all times. She doesn't want dogs outside unsupervised, and no matter how much I promised her that we would always be outside with him, and just want the fence so he could run and play, she wouldn't believe it. The lady that we bought the trailer from was an animal collector (the REALLY bad kind) who never cared if her dog got loose. Makes it really hard to convince her that not all pet owners are irresponsible.
When we get a real house, one of the first things I'm going to do is put up a fence (if it doesn't have one already) and get a pool for the boys.

After seeing a shepherd come in with a gunshot wound: "You know we pretty much just paid for Ein all over again." (Pats him on the head.) "I'd do it again if he needed us to."
Lesson: Remember to take time to think about what's truly important. Oh, and give your pets a hug.
