I thought their backyard was fenced in. Why does he need to be on a leash? I like this comic strip but it doesn’t always make sense. Half of the time he’s loose in the yard, the other half he’s leashed. He’s in the house all day (often alone where he destroys things) and then put outside at night in the cold. If he can be inside, let him be inside. Let him loose or get rid of the fence.
My thought exactly!
