[nagdu] Dog food

[Mark J. Cadigan]

Janice,



What type of dog is Destiny? I only put the dog on tie down when I am 
sleeping, because there are a million things he could get into. I live in a 
dorm room, so, there is also the potential of a roommate accidentally 
letting him out. My dorm room is as dog proof as it can be, however, with 
his chewing abilities, one never knows. I'll let him off tie down once I 
trust him more.



That being said, I have never had an issue with him doing something he 
shouldn't do in the day.



Thanks,

Mark
