my dogs have their own room, they have crates in there for "Dens" but they also have free roam of the house, all 11 of my dogs from the 15# pug to the 4 catahoulas who are 60-70#s my old lady who was quite the competitor in her hey day is under my feet, my protector since I was eight, I'm going to miss her when she's gone, somewhere around '06, and I know I'll have to juice her I think my vet may let me do it just to know it was quick. I've had dogs all my life my parents and I have a show kennel as well as maintaining a dog breed rescue service that takes in all ages of certain breeds, we had a 7 year old abandoned dog come to us a few years ago his owners just up and moved and left him w/o food, water or shelter. we got a 14 year old Scottish Terrier who's human mom had recently died, he passed last year and we have his ashes so we can sprinkle them on his mom's grave. I've seen a lot of dogs come and go, usually they are going to new homes, but I always bring them home and bury them in the 40 acres in our cemetary for the pets of our friends. I can't leave them at the vets to be dropped off on the next garbage truck after they come out of the storage freezer.
