<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am starting to wonder if my hounds are turning into cats. Lexi, a bagel, likes to sit up on top of the back of the couch and lay there. I should mention this couch is in the middle of the room. Granted it does get great sun and the bigger hounds are hogging the floor, but I also have a leather chair sort of by a wall and they will stretch themselves out and sleep there as well. Maddie, a beauteous red/white drama mama basset who is a dainty 45ish pounds, has been known to do this. Preferably if I am already sitting on the chair.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Question for those who have used citronella bark collars - what do you do when a hound doesn't mind the citronella and continues to bark?? Maddie, the above mentioned drama mama basset, doesn't mind the ode de Citronella at all. I should mention she is barking at the barn kitties when she can see them.</FONT></P>
