[QUOTE="nerfherder, post: 582615, member: 15907"] So, earlier this morning I was doing some carving. We have gorgeous rocks around here, and I'm utterly thrilled that my trailer cottage has a superbly working exhaust fan (over where the stove was before I tore it out.) So I'm chewing away with the dremel, watching the dust NOT going into my lungs (hurray!) and I thought of you, and Buck, and I realized - he's probably grinding away and not giving a fig for the particulates he's putting into YOUR lungs. Let alone his. So, I have to ask, is he in fact grinding with no protective gear? No mask, no safety glasses? If you need more ammunition, there's some right there. And yes, I'm concerned since you do have other issues already, you don't need your lungs all cr4pped up. If he whines about getting kicked out and not having a rotary tool, well, they can be gotten _cheap_ at places like Harbor Freight and the like. A basic kit for about $20. The other thing that concerns me - I've had good dogs go questionable when they start ramping up challenges to my dominance. Honestly, with Buck getting mouthier and mouthier with you and ramping up *his* challenges, I think of when a dog is getting ready to start a fight. Some might be offended by the metaphor, but - well, down under our frontal lobes we do have the more primitive part of our brain and that's a source of aggro behavior (and fear too, by the way - if you treat PTSD as coming from an overactive amygdala keeping us safe from the lion in the grass.) I realize that was roundabout, and maybe trying to get y'all to smile a little, but I get the feeling he's going to try to move up in the pack. Good luck smacking him down, or better yet - out. :) [/QUOTE]
