Aww.  That is a bummer to hear!  I'm home all day and we just bought an old farmhouse on some land.  We're planning on getting a couple of ponies this spring, so he/she could herd them.  Not really, but we do have a lot of land and a nice barn for it to run around in.  Hmm...now I'm reconsidering my dog choice.  I just think they are so cute and I read some positive things about them.  smiley: frown
