Thanks for your help everyone! Ok to answer everyone's questions...

Karen, Daisy likes to sleep and eat but I doubt those count... she likes to walk, howl, and play chase... I can't see how that will help though.

Freckles, yes he is my maternal grandfather. But... you all don't know him... crying won't help. I honestly can say that I can't stand him. I am respectful to him but he shows me none back. He doesn't really care what I say and talking about it sends him into a rage!

Rachel your idea is a good one, I think I may try writing a letter... wish me luck!

And in the meanwhile I will be trying your ideas, Aly. I hope they work on my lazy Daisy!

Thanks again everyone, I really appreciate this!
