" And NO, my house doesn't smell like a Dog Kennel, believe it or not!!!!!" Maybe you have lived in it so long you do not notice any odor? What do you use/do to rid the smell of 18+ dogs??? All the shedding and seasonal things...wow. Colleen Donnelly ---3 males, one intact 8 yr old, one neutered 2.5 year old and one neutered 1 year old. Crystaridge <crystaridge@xxxxxxx> wrote: Well, I am reluctant to tell you how many of my dogs actually 'live' in the house ----- as in SLEEP in the house, sleep in my bedroom, sleep wherever they chose. But I think I WIN!!!!! Ours start with Tara who is 13 plus and is the Livingroom Prima Dona. Liz is 10 and is only in a pen when she decides to go 'walk about' and I have to put her away until she gets the message. Desi is 9 years and is my constant companion. She is a good girl and never does anything wrong. Cody (male) is 8 years and sometimes has to be in a pen depending on who is in season, but mostly lives in the house. London will be 8 in November and is a 'house puppy';. Amy and her sister Ellie are just over 6 years and are house dogs, and so is Glory who will be 6 in October. Also, I have Kim who was 6 in May and is in the house unless she is in season, and the same with the other girls. Vega is a 5 year old male that can spend some 'house time' but NOT when Cody is in the house and NOT if he lifts his leg on anything!!!! Jazzy - 3 years, lives in the house. Miracle - almost three years, lives in the house. Holly - almost 2 years, lives in the house. Noelle (the bitch from hell) 18 months, lives in the house because if I put her in a pen she SCREAMS!!! Porsche - also lives in the house because she has only been here for a couple of months and NEEDS house time. Danni is 4 years and is ALWAYS in the house ----- She is my 'National Treasure'. Oh yes, and Bravo - 14 month old male who is mostly in the house but right now is in a pen because Danni is in season. Dana - 9 months PLUS five pups - 5 month old male, three 4 month old girls and one ;two month old baby boy that just arrived here yesterday. They all sleep in crates in my bedroom at night. NOW ----- IS THERE A PRIZE FOR THIS!!!!!! Gosh I sure hope so, as I think I deserve something more than just the 'IDIOT OF THE YEAR AWARD'. I haven't counted ----- I hope you don't either!!!!! And yes, I could probably build three dogs a day out of the HAIR that I sweep up. We don't have carpet ---- that was gone years ago, just wood, vinyl and tile. Works for me. And NO, my house doesn't smell like a Dog Kennel, believe it or not!!!!! I love my babies. Now I will sit back and wait for the onslaught!!!!!!! Doesn't always pay to be truthful.

Such a task requires a sympathetic, dog-loving observer, who tries as far as possible to enter into the innermost mind of the dog, and who will know how to short-circuit all his purely human points of view. --Max von Stephanitz Whoever will only draw conclusions from the eminence of his own particular point of view, will obtain a distorted picture. --Max von Stephanitz --------------------------------- Find your next car at Yahoo!
