I think it is great! I wouldn't want my puppies going anywhere else but
to pampered homes! I am sure that Gina and the rest of the breeders feel
the same way! I think not only should he get a costume, but he should
also go out trick or treating!

Those are nice. They have the run of the wire, and they can't get
tangled. Also in the winter it will make clean up easier.

  I can see it now......throwing frozen turds through the snowblower.

I suggest a winter run. Maybe if you get one of those trolley thingys
this could be it. The bad thing about snow and poop is, you got to get
what is there before more snow comes. If the poop in the snow gets
snowed on and buried, then wait and see what the thaw brings!!! I hate
that. My kids are under the threat of death to clean up if snow is
predicted! Of course we have quite a few dogs that that need to be
cleaned up after. Maybe that's is why the brown mush that flows in the
spring is so bad. I would do exactly like you said and snow blow a
running area if it gets to deep. Down here in the south, a big snow
brings hours of play and they mush down their own area.
