EEK!  Well, Daisy caught and ate one of the mice.  The rest seem to have
gotten the hint and left.  At least she didnt try to gift me with it.

It's funny.  I have a 6ft fence and a dog that can't jump a 3ft one, and
you've got labs with a 3 ft fence.

Perfect!  I bet Toby is trimming out too with all the activity?

With the 2 hre only, Cash normally sleeps on the floor by Don and Daisy
wanders back and forth between the bed and the sofa.  I actually sleep on the
sofa most nights due to my back liking it better.  Don and i have considered
on of those sleep nmber adjustables though that can adjust both sides how you
need it.
