Hey Evan, Ed and I have an understanding... I practice law, I take care of the house, the dogs, him, but not the bills. He tells me not to show dogs, not to breed dogs, not to keep puppies that I like, but never tells me how to dress! He tells me when to go to the ring if he is there (never), because I am always late, and always says "get a good handler". I spend what I want, and that works for me!! Don't you just love the give and takeof marriage? Claire Drosdick Avion Kennels ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
