Stephanie...you are awesome! What a great testimonial. BTW...I have a harness for Peach. She loved it last summer. Haven't tried it yet this spring.

Dogs are different pets from birds. I have 7 dogs, and they have their upsides and their downsides as pets. A dog's generally more cuddly and you can play with them more physically and take them jogging, but on the other hand I've never had a bird delight in killing the various wildlife in my backyard.

Also if it makes you feel better, dogs are hopelessly attracted to sanitary pads (or anything with blood on it), it seems. We had to change all the wastebins in our bathrooms because the dogs would break in to get a "treat".

I DO have bird-caused blood and destruction in the back yard thanks to all the Coopers Hawks out there. Every now and then one chases a quail into the window and it sounds like someone bounced a cannonball off the house.

I'm actually glad I don't have an inside dog....lol
