Ed - not sure the dogs would give you couch time... Ulv and Cy (my beloved Asgard dog and father of Ch. Ulv) are usually next to me. Bailey and Autumn share the "dog" couch and Zarina goes where ever she wants. All my dogs are house dogs. Though with pups in the house Cy is outside for a bit when I am at work. When I am home they are all running amuck. Luckily they have all been respectful of Zarina and the pups. Plus Ed after you ditched me for your brother a lot of sucking up would be required before I would even contemplate unseating one of my babies. Talk to Evan he can negotiate terms ;-). Michelle D.
