[nagdu] dogs and mosh pits don't mix

[Larry D. Keeler]

How was the concert?  Those Murphies are roudy folks!  When I braught Holly 
home, I didn't really leave her for a month or so.  Then, I would leave her 
for short periods.  I also had my kids take her out sometimes.  Now, if I 
have to leave her, she has my little dog or my wife usually here.  She still 
sits by the door but she also gets up to messing with Pez or visiting Carol. 
And, if Carol has to go with me, Pez baby sits her!  I'm sure they both come 
back in the bedroom, curl up and sleep until I get back.  But, of course 
this works because I usually have kids, wife ande family constantly coming 
through and, Holly knows everyone loves her!!! Don't know about dorm room 
though.  Maybe if you have a good friend or someone who you trust and will 
sit with your dog, leave the dog with them for short periods and slowly 
increase the time the dog spends over there.
