Check this out. In my new home, I have my very own patio in the front yard. (I also have a nice backyard, but we share that with the other people who live in this house.)
There is a pretty old stone wall that I can walk along and check out the neighboring yards. We're on a hill, so this gives me a good view "looking down" on critters and visitors. Helps me with my guard dog function.
Though for some reason, Mom and Alpha keep telling me not to bark. And something about "loving my neighbors." Jeez, when did we get so religious (hee, hee)?
