Funny thing about Dads and dogs!! My father was of the "old school "and belived that dogs belonged outside. He was a depression era farm boy and dogs had to fend for themselves. Needless to say both of the dogs we had as kids were inside and hopelessly attatched to dad. He would fuss and fume about hair and teeth marks,but when he thought no one was looking.......he would love on the dog and whisper to her while scratching her ears. I knew then that dad,despite what he'd like to belive,was a real softie!!
"are'nt dogs great?"...yes they most certainly are dear
