Re: [PyrNet-L] re sleeping arrangements

["Merrilie" <Grammy@biddeford.com>]

Oh yes--- big divorce actions tied up because of the custody battle!!!!!!!
I can't think of any other place I would rather have my dogs sleep than with
me or beside me.  Fortunately my husband sees it the same
way......especially when we are working opposite shifts...:) The sleeping
arrangements may not be for everyone- but it's an individual thing, I feel.
Just as formal training is a choice, what you feed is a choice, how you
exercise......... all choices we and them make together.  Mine definately
talk to me.  I get *the look* if they disapprove of something, and I GIVE
*the look* when they are being corrected. I wouldn't have it any other way!
