No, SHE doesn;t take 20 minuytes, but F does so she has to stay in there till he's done. He likes toplay with his, =just like a cat with a mouse. He'll take a piece off, toss it aorund, walk wpast it and pretend it moved,pounce on it, etc.

I try to just take them as they are.

On Ruby-- I do not know if a vet would come, but for it to really be RUBY's way-- you will think I am nuts-- it would happen like this: she'd get sleepy meds in her food while she is in a kennel next to other dogs barking away madly. Honest to God-- that IS her favorite place to be. The next step would not be in her vein until she was passed out, sleeping happily away with the barking lulling her off. Happy barking as only boarding kennel full of inmates can produce.
