[QUOTE="bigbear11, post: 519205"] Hi everyone. I noticed in an earlier discussion there were comments about not cuddling after a rage? I kinda understand why but would appreciate suggestions regarding what to do then. I suppose I have been guilty of cuddling TRex after rages. Even though she would have hurt me (bites, pull hair out, etc)...as she was calming down she would want to cuddle and tell me how sorry she was. I always thought this was probably a good thing given her adoptive history. I also wanted her to know that I really would love her no matter what. My husband on the other hand most times will accept her apology but refuse to have anything to do with her (reasonably of course... like cudding or calling him to come up and help her go back to sleep). His perspective is that she can't treat people like that and then expect people to act like nothing happened...he will do that for a day or so and then be back to normal. I have always seen his point but felt like if she can't help how she is wired then shouldn't we let her know that "nothing she can do will make us stop loving her?" I am now rethinking this. How would you all suggest I handle it? [/QUOTE]
