I personally love the dog whisperer and would have made alot more mistakes with Valentine if I had not started watching when we got him at 3 months. I do ignore some of his sage advice though,(lol) and give affection to my dog when he is excited to see me when I get home, and he sleeps in bed with us. How do you not greet excitement when it meets you at the door? That is the best part of my day. Kelley, and Valentine, yes still no Siggy or pics, too poor for camera, "I'm so poor I can't afford to pay attention". grin.
