And *we* think it’s cruel to feed a dog generic dog food, cause it’s all you can afford if you’re on welfare and HOME all day. Peter, do you ever leave the house to go to work? Or are you still in school? Twzl & Sligo —

If I have to leave my dogs alone for that long I would get them a babysitter, not a radio. — HBSc Computer Studies/GIS Telnet: 192.75.12.103 Trent University Peterborough, Ontario, Canada "Programmers Give Better Output!" PHONE: (705)799-0808

I’m curious to know if you noticed a change in your dog’s behavior to let you know this was helpful for him? I missed the beginning of this thread, but I have been pondering this issue lately, so would love to hear from folks who have experience! thanks! -Lou and Chewie, PWD — Lou Newkirk-Ledo CEE/UC Department of Counseling
