ROFLOL, I grew up on a farm, probably have owned more dogs than you, but there is a time and place for everything and respecting your neighbors rights are the same as yours is something most stinky dog owners do not know. I raised and sold hunting beagles as a kid. But that was a long time ago. I do not go over and crap in the neighbors yard and he does not crap in mine. And the last big dog running loose and bothering people in the neighborhood disappeared. Have no ideal where it went.
Sorry I’ve misunderstood your posts, then. You *seem* to be anti-dog.
And ya, as far as you having had more dogs than me? I wouldn’t doubt it. Our mother wouldn’t LET us have pets. So...we all grew up & went animal-crazy, if you will, and ALWAYS made sure OUR kids had them.
