[Charlie & Lillies Mom]

I am getting a divorce and have moved to a rental house with my son. We have 2 Bassetts that are still at our old house with my ex because they stay outside in a fence during the day. The rental house does not have a fence, but I was told I could put one up so that I could bring our dogs. I have the materials, but no one to install the fence. I can't afford to pay someone right now to do it. I'm considering an underground electric fence but I wasn't sure if it would work since Bassetts have such a strong instict to chase a scent. The area we moved to is full of rabbits, deer and wild turkies.

We REALLY miss our babies, but I want to make sure they will be safe first! Will an underground electric fence work with Bassetts? Or should I just hold off until I can get the real fence installed? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hhhmm...decisions, decisions. I really miss my doggies. Charlie is pretty stubborn and he is the one I would worry about chasing rabbits and such. Lillie is very laid back and could care less. As far as keeping them indoors all day - I'm gone for about 9 hours, sometimes longer and I work 30 miles away so going home on a break is not an option either. I may just have to visit them while my soon-to-be ex is at work.

Thanks to all for the input! By the way....I love this website! Glad I found it.
