Jackie, our hounds never go around other dogs...they did when they went to Camp BowWow, but they haven&#39;t been there since April.  We left them at our oldest son&#39;s house when we went to South Dakota and that is going to be the plan from now on, so hopefully they are safe.  Actually, they rarely go out of the house.  They go out in the backyard with us when we go sit on the swing in the evenings, but other than that, they are strictly house dogs.  I don&#39;t take them to the store or other places with me - they really do not like riding in the car.<br /><br />We are going out to dinner tonight once Gregory and Darcey get back from their appt.  Tomorrow is Annabelle&#39;s birthday, so we will be going to Gunther Toody&#39;s tonight...her party is Sunday at Chuck E. Cheese.  My son and his wife have been taking a class every Wed. from 5:30 - 6:30...it is a Christian marriage class and they both say they have learned a lot about what to do and not do...
