What kind of puppies do you have? I have a mini dachshund and a lhaso paso. They are "my girls!" They give me lots f love and companionship. My husband is elderly and spends most of his time out in his man cave. If it weren't for my girls I would be alone on my days off work. The mini dachshund, Abby, loves to get into the trash in my sewing room and drag the little pieces of fabric, and batting all over the rest of the house. I just pick it up and say, " I hope you had fun", now I have the opportunity for a little exercise as I clean it all up."
