I don't feel guilty at all about not having children here. It spares me the heart attack I suffer everytime dogs and kids go running through the house and yard. Chopper, Chase and my 2 y/o niece Onna are thick as thieves. You'd think they were littermates. It's like the runing of the bulls; better get out of their way. I am so surprised that neither has knocked her down, scraped her, grabbed her or caused any other injury. It's almost too much for me to bear.

They don't just like them, they are FOOLS for them and have to be right, smack in the MIDDLE of whatever the children are doing. IF that means getting stepped on, things spilled on them, feet/tails run over with hot wheel cars, antenna from motorized cars hitting them in the face, so much the better. When the party is over, they are so dejected it looks as if they've been beaten, and let a child get in trouble and the dogs sulk something awful:) God help somebody they don't like getting near one of "their" children though...worlds BEST babysitters:) Kathy, member GSDCA, DVGSDC Celebrating generations of Dual Titled TC'd Champions visit www.geocities.com/pinehillgsds In a message dated 7/11/2008 8:40:37 P.M.

Now anyone who has been around boys this age knows they can not walk, they run , they can not talk they yell , they can not sit they jiggle all over . This is day 6. I am wiped out. But the house dogs are having ball especially at meal time as another thing they can 't do is get all their food in their mouth and it ends up on the floor. But the great thing is my 11 1/2 yr old girl who has never been around kids has decided to accept them into the family. Now she is tough and has the size to back it up. But she considers these boys OK. They have even brushed her. Only think I can figure out is she is loosing her hearing and doesn't see really well. Because the noise is killing me. **************Get the scoop on last night's hottest shows and the live music scene in your area - Check out TourTracker.com!
