I was trying to be funny, but after rereading my remarks I can see they didn't come across that way. I really do appreciate your advice.

So you're a girl too, huh?

And a fellow dog lover.

He did good after I took your advice and brought him back in on a leash. He is so sweet and pitiful (I think he has been hit before, he flinches when you pick up a stick, broom or such object).

He's definitely been inside before, and just lives to be by my side. It really does make me feel so bad when I see that big head and those big brown eyes pleading at me through the window.

I am a real softie. My animals (two dogs and a cat) pretty much run my life now.

I got him from the shelter to keep my other dog company. I work at home (on the computer) and while on deadline and needing to work, my setter sits and begs me for attention. I invested $1,800 in a huge fence so she can get plenty of exersize and darned if she won't leave my side. So, I get him and now I have TWO begging for my constant, undivided attention :)

Oh well, it feels wonderful to have a fan club, I'm not complaining.

But, like this article above states, certain breeds require much more time and effort, and it's not fair to get a dog and ignore it. Maybe when I'm on deadline I could play them a Lassie video or something.
