Mike,

There is a great little entrepreneurial opportunity no doubt.

You know, at most of the Ski for Light  events I've been to they've provided
volunteer dog-sitting from local puppy raiser groups. Also I'm seeing
business opportunities here. Maybe other conventioneers would watch a dog
for a few bucks. What about crates? Is it illegal to have your dog alone in
his crate in the room? Idle thoughts though I cannot leave my present dog
whereas my previous one was a lot more mellow.
