hey Genia!! We have been wondering about you!!

As for the radio, I'm not a good one at remembering to leave it on, but usually, my dogs are outdoors when I am not at home. But.........my pettsitter is big believer in radio, so she leaves it on everytime she is in chaarge. I know it helps Roger Cockatiel....I play Classical music for him quite often, even when I am at home. Kim believes it is soothing for the dogs as well, so they get PBS on the radio if I'm not here.
