I understand how you feel...I love animals but my brother-in-law and his wife have 2 siberian huskies & have one of those electric fences, so the dogs are outside most of the time. Anytime you go over there both dogs jump all over you and they always have muddy paws. I know that huskies usually have a lot of energy but they get on my nerves sometimes. They usually give the dogs table scraps during meal time, so anytime you try to eat in that house you have 2 dogs in your face. I can't stand that; Roscoe is not allowed anywhere NEAR the table when we eat!
