Hi Carol yes dogs are good company and they get you out everyday we take them to the beach most afternoons which is good exercise for both of us but the trouble is we usually end up having some of that medicine today it was a chocolate feast that was yummy,Ray just had a vanilla the dogs had to put up with a doggie treat hahahaha but they had a great time running with all the other dogs,had roast chicken and all the trimmings for lunch, love from Jenny
