we may not leave the tv or stereo on for our dog, but my woman and I miss him dearly when we have to leave him. we rarely do - he's coming with us for thanksgiving and chanukah dinners with the 'rents. as for the foster spazz, I'm worried she'll be out of hand. she seriously cannot sit still when other animals are around unless she's exhausted. not to mention that we're gonna have to leave her for over 4 hours on sunday and she can't hold her bladder that long.
