Carol Reese Ornamental Horticulture Specialist -Western District University of Tennessee Extension Service 605 Airways Blvd. Jackson TN 38301 731 425 4721 email jreese5@xxxxxxx I like the dog idea, assuming the dog will get a responsible, loving situation, but please get one from the shelter. I cringe when people go buy an expensive pureblooded dog when there are so many wonderful deserving mutts who could help you out, as you help them "out" of their dilemma. I also had my dogs trained to chase squirrels from the feeders at my former home, but here, I never see a squirrel. The dogs are forgetting what the word squirrel means... Some friends and I have dogs for adoption here in west Tennessee, spayed, neutered, current on shots and heartworm preventive, so get in touch if you are interested!
