After a hard day, every day, they always welcome you as a lost friend, well dinner provider as pack leader. A good walk and a chat (better than talking to plants, they don't understand me) later and I'm back in the human race. If you have big hairy dogs like me (seven at last count) they also double as space heaters, body warmers and pillows on cold winter evenings. Also the hair is good for the local bird population and burglars think twice with all those teeth at the windows! All in all very useful on all fronts and think of the exercise walking them to the pup in the evenings "just taking the dog(s) out dear" Hairy Mutts Best Friend Peter. -- Dr.P.S.Fox, [log in to unmask] Consett Medical Centre Fax: 01207 506077 England Tel: 01207 502266 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
