I have chain link between my back yard and a side yard. Fortunately,
between the side yard and the front yard, it is wood. Punk has pushed
a whole big section of the bottom out of whack so she can get her big
bod to the side yard. She doesn't spend much time over there, but
just likes to know that she can, I think. I personally don't think
labs have any pain receptors anywhere on their bodies.
