We will be away for a week. My dog is a border collie and husky mixed. She loves been outside and our back door is always open for her. She loves to sit in the rain. She is very stubborn and has no recall so would need to be on lead at all times on walks and even when taking her for a pee just so you can get her back in. She loves to play and has never shown any aggression although is weary of new people and may bark.
