Thanks for the information Phred, I'm thinking in our situation with what happened to our dogs we can't leave them outside like we used to, I think that hookup to the firehouse would be expensive, so our only alternative is to leave them in the house. We used to put them in their crate, now we leave them loose in the small back pantry by the backdoor door, thinking at least the firemen could hear them there and maybe see them too. We usually always try to take them with us when possible, but sometimes we can't. At times we get dog sitters for them too.
I guess that's a little overdoing it, but my worry alarm works over time. LOL
