Jenny, We are full time RV ers, and our 3 are free roam. We often take them outside on leashes. Sometimes they walk right along. Any time they are near bushes, though, they "need" to explore. lol. However, they will pull me along on the way home. We always take them out in several directions to be sure if they do get out, that they can find their way home. We use Revolution tokeep them safe from fleas, ticks, mites and heartworm. We do get the occ. mosquito in the house (camper), so even if we didn't take them out, I'd want heartworm protection. Good luck with your little one. Mary D. [Posted in FML 6034]
