.......As an adult with very few exceptions I have always had to many dogs!...even in my protection training days I had to many dogs....and then, like now...I always want another one!......right now I have 4, a two year old, a four year old, a ten year old and a six month old puppy. Four the first time since I was a kid, I am finally interacting, playing, walking/training and spending time daily  with all four. I see the difference in them, and I see the difference in me!....for the most part my dogs are kennel dogs but for the first time I believe I am doing the right thing.......but I still want one more....and if I get one more, I'll still wan t one more.......what causes this addiction...because it IS an addiction.......Ed Hill ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
