I am almost always home so the dog is rarely left by herself. Although she is fine if she is alone, no crying or barking or whining. When I go outside to garden I take her with me. If the weather is not too hot I take her along for rides when I do short errands.
I usually go for long exercise walks most afternoons that Lily just loves. She goes along and does a lot of sniffing. And rarely do we not meet up with at least one other dog on our walks. There are just so many dogs around here,
