assistant: Hello Mary.
Dogs develope their own personality.  Boomer is quite the fun loving
animal.  I sometimes wonder if he still believes that HE is a PUPPY.  I
know that he honestly believes that he is a lap dog.  Although I don't know
too many people that would appreciate having a cow sitting on them.
This is one thing that I could never get Boomer to do.  I don't know why.
I had a choker on him while doing this.  I finally gave up.  He is nice to
take on walks, I just don't the fact that I am being dragged at times.  My
daughter seems to think that he could pull her on a sled.  I don't want to
find out though.  He is getting old.  Just turned seven on July 6.  That is
also the same day as my daughters birthday.  Since we were never able to
pinpoint his exact birthday, my daughter decided that she would share her
birthday with Boomer.  I thought that was cute until a year ago she wanted
to bake him a dog cake.
There is a place in a city just North of here called the Doggie Drive Thru.
They sell bones, food, etc.  Sure enough, they even sell dog cakes, made
with I don't know what (I  did not want to try it), but the dog sure loved
it.
Don't forget to leave them fresh water, but withe pool and all, I am sure
they would not go thirsty.  After all, I have seen dogs drink water sitting
in dirt.  Not quite what I would recall refreshing, but I am sure to them
they don't care. :)
Boomer still like to lay in the lawn sprinkler since I no longer have the
pool.  Sold the house a couple of years back.
Black hair on a charcol grey carpet stands out like red paint on white
carpet.
No doubt!  I never thought of that.  I would think they would somehow find
a way out.
With all those dogs?  You must be kidding.  <VBG>
Me too!
Have a great weekend and a better week ahead.
Mark
