[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 5770574, member: 54707"] Yeah, I'm glad me and my dogs don't have to live off the land either. We could do it if necessary, but I got no real interest in it. Besides my dogs earn their keep by being superb guard dogs for my wife and kids. They're fearless in their defense, and that's swell by me. Otherwise, [FONT=Verdana]my dog and my bitch are slowly getting used to our new cat. My dog was on the bed tonight, with the cat, unmuzzled. At one point my dog tried to grab the cat by the tail with his mouth (the same way he grabs my hand in his mouth to try to get me to go outside and play ball, but he didn't try and bite her) but I got the tail away in time. He's really, really excited by her, but he doesn't realize yet (if he ever does) that because of the size and weight differential he could accidentally hurt her.
