Dixie, I love what you have to say, forget about confrontations, just zone in on the positive things and just speak your mind.
You are one of the most knowledgeable people in regard to dogs that I know and I admire you and your discussions. You could never be an intruder, don't ever think that way, geeeez when we have a dog problem who do we turn to? Just pick and choose in posting, but don't ever think you are an intruder, we all love you.
Jackie
