I've always had a dog, as long as I can remember. I have three right now, a miniature schnauzer that stays indoors (Molly), a beagle mix outside (Annie), and a black lab mix that stays outside as well (Dee Dee). I'd love to have more but that's all we can handle for now.

MrsMcClain, I think that is wonderful that you have 8 dogs that you have cared for like that. It's so great to hear about someone who has enough heart to take some animals in that really need it.
