Bhoysgirl, I figure that too because if they are feeling really bad they won't get off the couch but today as I said they were up and about within a few hours and asking to go out, I just worry about their coughs. Both are tucked in bed snoring now after the minuscule lunch they had and their little play outside. The cold looks like it's setting in for rain now so Im glad they got half an hour of fresh air. So tricky balancing it all!!
