Good post, but I don't know how you got this: "---are you suggesting I leave it up to them?' out of me saying, that I consider my self to be my dog's provider, not his owner. ""you love those dogs more than me!" Every thing reminds me of a story. Legendary Michigan State football coach, Duffy Dougherty, told a story of his wife tearfully saying "You love football more than you love me" He thought about it for a few seconds and said. "But I love you more than basketball." B2B
