HUGE completely secure and enclosed garden with bits of bushy woodland. He does his business in private, I never see his poo!

That aside, walking your doggie gets you out and about with excellent exercise, talking to people, visiting shops, meeting other dog owners and socializing. I've met some of my very best friends and the most wonderful people out walking my pooch! In fact I got the most wonderful job in the world because of my (now deceased ) doggie, working for the top female athlete on the planet, 'cause her PA fell in love with my lil pooch and we started chatting in Starbucks!

Still WINNING!!!!
