HarrietteS asks: How should I deal with it if my date wants to do more than I do?

0 What movies are okay for kids to watch?

Newie asks: What movies are okay for kids to watch?

Dogs don’t have great eyesight, but we do have fantastic senses of smell.  So the idea of looking at a movie screen or a television set, that has no smell to it, is BORING to me!  Way more fun to sit on the front step listening and sniffing out the world around me.
