Your Dog In Your Home

If you have a dog you should also have a yard fenced in. No one living in a city should keep a dog unless they have the yard, except in a case of a small toy dog, that you keep in the house or a flat, and in such cases you must take your dog out for a walk night and morniing.

If you have only one or two dogs, your own house is none too good or suitable a place for them to sleep at night, and their access to the house during the day is all right, for a thoroughly well behaved dog is a most desirable companion to have around for company, and especially at night, for any dog is liable to prove of great value or assistance in case of burglars or unwelcome visitors.

This applies to the large breeds as well as toy dogs, for they would all be watchful and give the alarm to prevent harm befadling their master and mistress. All dogs are faithful to some one. How often do we read or hear of lives having been saved by the house dog.

If yon have a toy dog that sleeps in the house, provide it a box or basket so that in cold weather you can cover it up at night. Putting it to sleep on a chair or sofa does well enough in summer, but suppose you do this in winter, and you cover it up with a vshawl and it goes to sleep say in a warm room, this is all right, so far.

Now suppose the fire goes out towards morning, your pet turns over ami "kicks the cover off, the room gets cold, and the result is that your dog catches cold, which, if not attended to promptly, is liable to be a sick dog. Provide a box or basket so that you can cover it over the top, allowing for air, and he will be safer and more comfortable. Aside from this, he is more liable to be clean in his habits, and will wait till he is let out into the yard In the morning. Very few dogs will commit a nuisance in their sleeping box.

And again suppose he is unlucky enough to get fleas on him, and this often happens to a dog by having met a dog that did have them, you will find it much easier to rid him of them than if he had been sleeping on a sofa or loose in the house, for you could take his bedding out and clean or burn it. To get rid of fleas is given under that heading.
