Both people must be alive and well or he stays inside. His patterns of behavior these days is to hurry up the routines. He wants us to get over breakfast more quickly as he likes coffee time in front of the tv. He doesn't get much except dry milk bone biscuits during that time but we must get in there and get started. His mom pets him a lot during that time and then he goes and takes a nap. Buttons age is such that he can get me up three times a night. He doesn't care who takes him down and outside but someone has to do it. It is best that we do before it is too late. L.

My husband does the same thing with our dog. Sends him out on his own, while if it's me, Bracken looks back to make sure I'm coming along with him.

Maybe I should just have your attitude toward prison and I wouldn't worry so much.<br />I have to smell everything scented in the store before I bring it home because most of the smells are too strong and "chemically". I just sent carpet stuff to the trash can because the smell of the carpet made me nauseous for days. Once I find something I like I stick to it.
