  1. Meredith - your tribute was short, sweet,simple and to the point - I know Turbo running toward you WILL be what you see.

    Some pictures from Dewey - so glad you brought him that year.

    On the couch (as usual)

  2. I use the oven as my "dog safe". I usually put the next day's supper in the oven and the following day's in the fridge except in the summer - I don't really like the smell but the dogs don't mind. Mine have no problems eating the chicken quarters warm or frozen.

     

    I get the dinner dance too!

  3. I have beds for all 4 dogs in my bedroom and also in the living room. Java usually tries to start out on the bed but I generally make them all get on their own beds to start out. They sneak up on the bed during the night. It may only be 1 dog but I have had all 4 on the bed (a queen & it is just me).

     

    If I wake up and can't turn over because of the dogs, they get told to "Get Off" and they go back to their beds. Occasionally, Jave won't like the only available bed and sleep in the living room until she can sneak back up. :P

  4. I have a dog door and mine use it all the time. The door opens like a saloon door rather than the flap like most dog doors. If you are interested I could look up the information on it.

    They seem to know when to come in but do enjoy going outside. I do have to lock the dog door when I pull my car into the garage since my garage is in the back of my house. I have been known to forget to open the dog door after I pull the car out in the morning but I go home for lunch so they didn't have to hold it too long.:blush

     

    I don't worry too much about stray animals since my pups would probably chase any stray cats.

     

    I also have 2 cats. Tippy learned how to use the dog door quickly and Tyler took about 6 months because she ddin't like to push against it. My cats have brought in birds & mice.

    It is amazing how quick 4 dogs can get out the door when there is something interesting outside. I don't worry about them too much during the day - I live in a pretty nice area.

  5. I feed mine raw and package up the food for each meal in a separate bag/container. When I travel with the dogs, I take a cooler and have it full of frozen meals. Last year when I went to Kanab I did put some dry ice in the cooler. I have a pet sitter come to the house and since everything is prepackaged, she just dumps it in their bowls or hands them the item.

     

    I haven't had to go back to kibble since I started the raw so can't really answer that part of the questions!
