I understand that. We spent Christmas with my mother in Tennessee this year, which meant our coonhound spent five days in a kennel. She lost about 5 pounds -- just refused to eat. Next time we go, we're taking her with us and putting her in a kennel down there. Then we can visit her every day. We watch a number of friends' dogs for that very reason. Dogs go goofy in kennels. Sometimes one of our friends does a half and half. He kennels his dog, then we go over (daily) and take her with us to the local Dog Park and walk (run) her for a few hours. It's a 500 acre doggie Disneyland. It's only a 50 acre Dog Run - but we go 'exploring' in the adjacent open space. Other times we go over to friends' houses a couple of times a day - morning and evening. Still other times we have a dog with us for a week. We've been doing this for years. Always dogs, never a puppy. I got roped into taking care of four cats last year. Won't do that again! Montblack |

Work, other people's work, is an intolerable idea to a cat. Can you picture cats herding sheep or agreeing to pull a cart? They will not inconvenience themselves to the slightest degree. --Dr. Louis J. Camuti Regards Ian Dogs have owners. Cats have staff. . . |

When some 'stranger' made the mistake of trespassing on our property, that is. It's rather funny to see a full-size standard poodle in full flight, being pursued by a circa 20 lb tiger-striped American Shorthair. Especially since the cat would abort the pursuit as soon as the dog crossed the property- line, outgoing. |

If we stay away that long, though, some of them give us an "do I know you?" look when we get back. We just have to make sure they have clean litter boxes and adequate food and water before we go. George Patterson Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to your slightly older self. |
