My 3rd Golden makes a great foot warmer. My first new her boundries well and I could let her out in the front yard as well as the fenced back, she wouldn't leave the yard. My second not so much. The Dalmation next door taught her several houses in each direction was their yard. The only problem they caused was in the spring they would dig up toads in the neighbors flower beds. Current Golden hasn't learned her boundries yet or digging up toads. She does remove the rodents, reptiles, and insects though.

She asked to go out one evening after dark a few weeks ago. Heard some weird noises. She was not barking and not growling, and making sounds I hadn't heard. Went out and she was just sitting in the back yard looking up. A great horned owl was on a brick stockade fence post hooting. They were having some kind of conversation back and forth. She usually barks and jumps up at the squirrels and opossums. After several minutes exchange the owl flew back up to the top of the cottonwood in my back yard and my golden came trotting back to come in the house. It seemed like a pretty serious discussion. Maybe about hunting rights or maybe what the owl would like her to leave for it.
