My dogs have always lived in the house, I can't imagine them not being with me all the time. Despite all the hair, that's why God made vacuum cleaners and swiffers. Today will be the first time since I lost my Storm that I will have a repairman in the house, I always locked the others up but left him loose as he never barked at anyone; he just watched them. Being that Storm was solid black he looked very intimmidating and would walk up and sniff the person, then walk away and keep his eyes on them. I was never afraid with him by my side. I guess it is now time to let Jake be "the man" and watch over me. Anyone that knows Jake knows how attached he is too me and I'm sure Jake would jump thru fire for me if needed. Should be interesting. Now if I could only teach him to sit nicely on the back seat like Storm did. He is like a Mexican Jumping Bean in the car. I guess should get him a doggie seat belt. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
