Well, that's an interesting little tid-bit of information. I love dogs, have 8 of them, 5 of which live in the house with us. The other 3 we still have to get spayed and neutered so that they can also come in the house. I love them all dearly, but I don't plan on getting anymore dogs until some of these have passed away. It's just very difficult to spend quality time with each of them.
