In reply to the discussion: This winter, my wife and I got a shelter dog. [View all]MineralMan
(146,262 posts)21. Well, Dude has had his first hour on the tether,
with me having a cool one at the backyard table. He checked out the limitations of his tether, had a sniff with the dogs who live behind us, through a chain link fence, and then came over and laid down next to me. He's smart enough to reverse directions after going around the clothesline pole, but I'm taking that down anyhow. I have to go buy a good blade for my reciprocating saw, though. The crappy ones I have here won't cut the pipe.
Anyhow, it look like it will work OK until I can build the fence.

I suspect that gorillas care about interesting, whereas lions care about large.

Probably not typical, but tethering dogs is illegal where I live (Chapel Hill, NC)

Unattended here means not outside WITH the dog...or basically...having the dog on a long leash.
