SAlly: I know i'm just a youngster compared to you at only70, but i know just where you're coming from.Damn thin skin! I too have 6 adult shepherds and i feel most of the time i'm the only one supporting the Johnson and Johnson BandAid compamy. I always look like i've been in a knife fight. My dogs love me to death. Gobi, my pet male, is 29 inchs at the whither and weighs 123 pounds. When he gets to playing with me, i have to be darn carefull. Unfortunately i don't know how much longer that i'll be in good enough physical condition to rough house with him or any of the others for that matter, but until that time they're sure fun and i love em to death.
