[QUOTE="LoveMyDuke, post: 313424"] I was probably having an exceptionally bad day when I did my sig and just trying to illustrate how clueless and ineffective SO is with regard to ANY life that he is charged with overseeing. At least I didn't mention poor Dory, the fish who bailed from her tank because Dave never fed her... :frowny: As for Coco, I actually love him very much. Just Saturday I took him to an Applied Animal Behaviorist to have him evaluated for his appropriateness to enroll in Beginning family dog training (Dave actually gave me the money to pay for this evaluation). Sadly, just like Brandon, Coco has been provided no leadership, no training, no rules, no exercise, no boundaries, and NO socialization. He's a really sweet, really smart dog who just needs some training and leadership. His only walks are those I take him on. And, as you might imagine, guess who his alpha is? Dogs can detect instability a mile away and he sticks to me like glue. One of my greatest passions and hobbies in life is training dogs and reading/learning about dog behavior. I attend seminars, book signings, classes...I'm sort of a dog behavior junkie! So yea, I know all too well Coco's dire circumstance. I haven't quite figured out how to approach it, but I don't plan on just leaving him if I can have anything to do with it. I have to be realistic and keep my priorities in line. First Duke and me, then Coco. But thanks so much for your comments. I have such respect for other dog fanatics like myself!! :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
