RE: BuddysMom
Don't tell my two Chessies this! They are both inside dogs, sleep in the bed with my wife and I and wouldn't have it any other way. Exercise? We hunt in excess of 100 days a season and the only time they're not "working" is March 1 to the second week in June. My dogs are lap dogs, couch dogs, follow you to the bathroom dogs and very spoiled. Saying that dogs should be kenneled, housed or kept in a run is to err. It comes down to the individual dog and the owner, and in my case, the dogs are MY owner.
Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way and I'm sure everyone here feels the same with their own situation.

I agree. I guess to each his/her own. I just don't believe that some of Doc E's answers are correct for everyone, yet he gives everyone the same answer. Once again, to each his/her own. You guys can chill with it now.

Maybe she left her dog alone in the house and he ate her computer.

RE: BuddysMom
Come on now!
I'm just teasing you... all in good fun. I remember when I was getting my degree in the 90's. It was the best 4 years I ever spent for 6 years. That is when I got my 1st Chessie. i lived off campus and rode a bike to my classes. Susie [my dog] went with me to all of my 1 hour classes. She sat, unleashed, at my bike and never bothered a soul. Sometimes I would take her to lunch downtown and they actually let her in the place. She sat on a stool and would get a bowl of water and some milkbones while I got my sandwich. True story. her trouble with being inside is that she gets too hot. To each their own is right. My son has his own room and I don't keep him in a kennel. If I lived on a large farm perhaps a kennel wouldn't be neccessary but with only 1.5 acres at the house and a road so close the kennel is the choice. We go to a farm most nights and get a good walk in and she swims in the river. I don't think of her as a robot but she is very business like when it comes to hunting. No e-collars or harsh words needed. All she needs is for me to show her what needs to get done and she's overjoyed to give it her best. Thats more than I can ask for and alot more than what I get from the day to day world of people i deal with everyday. What's that old saying "The more people I meet the more I like DOGS"

Its all good. That's funny about you going to school with your dog, though. If I didn't have to go so far, I would probably take mine.... and I am a little afraid mine would end up getting jacked!! Then I would have to kill someone. Take my husband, but don't take my dog!

1. I let them run free within the boundries of a rice field or a bean field, or the entire farm whenever they want, because they always come home where they are understood and taken care of, and happy. And when I want them home, all I have to do is call for them.
2. My dogs are treated better than most children, and I love them like they are my sons, and I would never put my actual son in a kennel run or anything confining like that.

2. When your son becomes a teenager, will you just "let him run free"?
If you can train a Male Dog to not go to the aroma of a Female that is in heat, you don't need a College Degree -- Just open a business in doing so
BTW, Good Luck with school (I honestly mean that).

Folks lets not have our differences get to the point of a wizzin contest.The ole saying "different strokes for different folks".We all have different views on the things we do and believe in but lets not get into arguements over our personal views.I think this has gone far enough and would please ask we move on.Thanks,Take care,Jackson..
