I don't believe anyone loves their babies more than I do, but I like to think I am a responsible dog owner. I've asked my neighbors to let me know if they bark during the day and evening when I'm out and they have mentioned it to me, so I took appropriate measures to stop the annoyance. It wasn't hard to do, and I do want to be a good neighbor.

I also will put my dogs behind a gate in a bedroom when I have company because I do not like them jumping on people (they don't smell butts, they are very mannerly Schnauzers), they only go in my yard, they are very well behaved when I have a party (and those of you who have been to my parties have remarked on it) and that's because Mom gave them a beautiful bedroom to hang out in together and lots of carrots and warm quilts to sleep on, what's so bad about that. I think they are living wonderfully in Heavenly Hadley and they don't want for nuttin!!
