I love dogs !!!! My current dog is a Lab named Casey. Before him I had
a German Shepherd named Ranger. Ranger was a great dog and I still miss him.
Both big dogs but night and day different. Ranger was much smarter
and needed a lot more play time. I never could leave Ranger all alone
for more than 5 or 6 hours. He would get bored and get into something. shocked
Thinking back on it... it was kinda funny... but it was not so funny at the time.
