Where's that dog?

I've thought about leaving Cody for the day in the backyard and today is the first day we're trying this out. These are the reasons:

• Miya is getting spayed today
• Cody and I ran 10 miles yesterday and another few miles this morning. He *should* be sufficiently tired today
• I have a million meetings and it would be hard for him to see me come in and out without spending time with him. Also, I might have to find a substitute to take Cody out for potty breaks and leaving him in the backyard is easier.
• It's decent weather (somewhat warm but not too hot) so he should be able to enjoy the outdoors a little.
