I live in the city and we have leash laws...all dogs when outside are required to be on a leash.. (except for the doggie park and the dogs can run and play free there) and where i am staying, you have to be a pooper picker uper for your dogs, or you will get fined... any dog that is let loose is picked up by doggie police... (dogie police cuz I can't think at this moment what they are called lol) Where I am staying dogs cannot be chained outside nor are their dog houses... so the dogs have to be kept inside except when walking them or playing in fenced area...

Cats seem to get the run about.. a neighbor's cat visits sometimes.. the cat even ventured inside when the door was left open.. the lil black pug went nuts trying to catch her.. She is a beautiful cat... I'd love to keep her, but she seems to want to go home after her short vitsits...
