 NINE!? wow... And I've got kin who think 2 is too many. Dogs need
their own kind, just like we do. Good for you. Must be a happy pack
too!  They keep each other in line but then again they all knwo who
the alpha is. You.

 Tom and I were talking about 'one day we may be down to one' but
somehow I think we'll stay with two... You get used to it. But when
the time comes I'd try to get another dog close in age to the resident
dog. An older dog doesn't have too much to do with a puppy. Abbie is
almost 4 now and a bit less rambunctious. She and Cosmo play a bit
sometimes and get along fine... but it's not quite the same as it was
with out previous dog who was only a 1 1/2 older than Cosmo who is 11
now. That was a quite a duo those too. hmm. Kinda Laural and Hardy.

Sounds like your pets truly are the soul of the household.

 Nod... What do you make of this I've seen online about raw meat dog
food? I've seen ads for it. Though it would be more natural for the
dogs, how can we be sure the meat is okay.
