So guilty!! all three counts. Jericho is a lab mix with shepperd, Chloe is a terrier mix. found her in the pound at 4 months old eat up with fleas and a broke leg.... I couldn't leave her there.. now 9 yrs later shes the boss. they sleep with me, they share my meal with me. they are so spoiled. have a chow chow Missy. could never stand being indoors. she acts as if she closterphobic. ( I know I didn't spell that right). so shes our outside dog. tryed and tryed to get her to stay in. and then we have 1 cat (a bombay) who also thinks he owns the house. wherever I'm sitting , he waits till I get up and steals that spot. he also likes to walk by me and reach out and playfully bite my ankle.. I couldn't imagine life without them... am trying to make a deal with hubby for another cat. since we recently lost my leo
