[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 559512, member: 1550"] Hi again and thanks. Again, I will not have them euthansized. I believe animals and humans are equally as important (I know...I'm a bit kwazi). The crating last night worked well and Prince isn't marking today, which is odd. I guess I could crate them for my work day too. It's not even for four hours. I work two hours or two and a half hours on one route, then come home and go back at 2:30 and do another route of the same duration. Then when I come home, I let them out right away. I have about two years to try new methods and/or to find them awesome homes. That's a lot of time. Also, I'm willing to travel the country to get them into a great home or sanctuary. Even if they reduce the marking enough to make it tolerable, they have no big yard to run in. They need a fence a nd this is not our house and the landlord doesn't want us to build a fence so we can't. They are not allowed outside and off leash without a fence. We do have a very small pooping/peeing area that we fenced off just for that one purpose. They can walk around a little, but they can't run. They do get walks. But I can't help wishing they had a big yard to run in, like they did when we lived on the farm. That's why we bought the dogs. We didn't expect to have to move. One more thing: In two years, like it or not, we have to downsize and move. We have to have found them a good home by then. We are going to probably move into a mobile home park (a nice one near our home), but they only allow two pets (we have four dogs...two who are not a problem) and there is even less yardage there. But we aren't moving until Jumper graduates and she's just a junior right now. In spite of their issues, I am thinking that we should be able to find a good place within two years...or come across a good sanctuary with l ots of room to roam and run! I just can't consider killing my doggies. They are still happy boys and wag their tails constantly. I could only do that if they were suffering. [/QUOTE]
