Yes, way to go, Tukker. I turned my back for five minutes while my 10 mo Sera Jane was loose in the house. Suddenly finding things too quiet, I tracked to my bedroom. She was sitting on my bed with a lace curtain in her mouth! Ah, yes! Puppies! Zoa Dr. Zoa Rockenstein www.riverrockshepherds.com Home of: *Ch.

It turned out we were gone 10 hours, you know how it is, friends had other ideas ......... smile ............. the buses had stopped running where we were so as we waited for our cab, I started preparing my hubby as to the mess we would find when we got home, he isn't as "doggy" as I am, ............ as we unlocked our door "Raven" and "Tukker" met us at the door, ................. oh no ......... the pup was loose in the house ................... preparing for the worst we walked in, turned on the lights and was extremely surprised to find nothing damaged, nothing ripped, no plants destroyed, no pee or worse ............ the baby gate was in one piece and all cats accounted for ........... and my husband said "see I told you it would be okay" ........................ smile It was a great ending to a very nice evening .......................... way to go "Tukker".
