Thanks for the tips! Jeesh, I didn't even think about the mud tracking from the doggie door idea. Yikes...white carpet! I may have to wait a little longer before I bring a canine furkid into our home. I'd like to be able to spend a lot of time with him or her Thanks for the links! These are great. I'll definitely be referring to these when the time comes for me to give in a bring a dog home It really is amazing how many animals are out there that need homes. I would take them all if I could!!! I'm sure a lot of people feel that way too

Re: doggy door. We have real extreme temp changes here from summer (70-80's) to winter (20's- below zero). We have had a doggy door for years but we don't use it when the weather turns real cold. Our doggy door came with a panel made of metal that slips in snug in the frame of dog door from the inside. This keeps most of the cold air out.

I'm a little late jumping in here, but I would just like to say that I had a German Shepherd years ago when I still lived at home, and they are the most wonderful, sweetest dogs ever! I would recommend Shepherds to anyone who is thinking of getting a dog. They are extremely smart, very loving and loyal, and just beautiful creatures! I am presently owned by a cat, but if I ever move out of my apartment and into a house and decide to get a dog, it will be another Shepherd...along with about forty cats!!

GSD's are also my dream breed! We are buying a house this summer and both my hubby and me have always wanted a German import GSD so I think we are going to make it a reality, depending on how big the house is that we are going to buy.

Thank you for the tip. I'll try it out. She has a mane type neck with a huge bald spot on it now and it looks so funny. Hopefully this will work.
