Ileana, I have to 110% agree with you!!!!!!!!! Nothing sadder to me than dogs living in runs 24/7. I so enjoy laying on the couch with at least 2 of them with me..........and sleeping at night with one on each side of the bed........and one at the foot of the bed. So I have hair tumbleweeds every morning.........or snot marks on everything....it is OUR house and I couldn't live without my dogs in it. Mo > > In a message dated 7/9/2005 11:53:11 P.M.
