Outside Puppy

Our dog loves to be outside, and I would have no problem staying outside with him except that I have to do actual work (to get money and stuff). All last summer I tried various methods, but there was the inevitable pardox of "If I increase the screen brightness on my laptop so that I can actually see anything, my battery only lasts an hour or two". Well, over the past two days I have perfected my system, and the crowning moment was when I ran an extension cord to the backyard. Woo hoo! Then at 11 o'clock it got too warm for us, so we had to come inside anyway. Oh well.
