Y is for Yard

A quick post today to keep up with the blogging alphabet challenge.  Y is for yard.  Just like most people that live in a house, we have two yards.  We have a front yard and a back yard.  Both yards have fences and gates.  There's a dog run in the back yard thanks to one of the people from First Christian.  Toggle has to be on this run the majority of the day because if we leave him off the run, he jumps the fence.  It's not that he doesn't love his family or that he really wants to leave.  It's just that he is used to running around because he was a stray that somebody had and dumped at a gas station.

There is a dog door out to the back yard and Niblet and Woofles love to go through the dog door to get to the back yard.  They especially love doing this on a nice day.  There were a couple of days in a row that the weather was really nice, so they kept running out to the back yard and back into the house, out to the back yard and back into the house.

We also have a front yard.  We got the "white picket" fence around it as my mom always wanted a white picket fence.  It's not wood, though.  It's that plastic or vinyl so that it doesn't have to be painted or have upkeep.  If it needs to be washed, you just spray it with water or you might need to do a little bit of scrubbing with a sponge that has soap and water.

Niblet and Woofles love to lay in the grass in the front yard.  The people who installed the fence had to come back a few days afterwards to put chicken wire over the open spots of the fence because Woofles could get through them!  He's that scrawny!  While I wasn't sure if he was able to do such a thing, I had him out one time and he did when my grandpa drove up into our driveway.

So, we have two nice yards that all three dogs love.  Yes, Marbles even loved the yards and his ashes are buried in the back yard.
