No worries Paulette. BTW I agree with you, our dogs ARE family, and are treated accordingly. That is why our furniture is well loved, our shoes, our clothes, some kids' toys, hahahah... That is why they have their OWN freezer, larger than ours for their food, lol... Dog people understand , horse people, animal people in general. Anyone that doesn't "get" that our the dogs are our family, are not people we would want to know anyway and are inconsequential.
