Dear Lane. Thanks for setting me straight!! As I said, I NEVER meant to offend you. If I did, PLEASE accept my apologies. I never meant to imply that Odin was being abused; just that maybe a different approach might be more helpful. Sometimes what's written on the computer can get misinterpreted!! I feel especially sensitive to husky rescues, as I described. As I said, I know you both most be wonderful people, having given a loving home to so many rescues. I hope Odin continues to do well. Big husky hugs to him. Like so many things in life, some require more work and patience! How is Dharma doing? She sounds like a real little angel. Maybe Odin will learn from her, as she grows up. Again, I am VERY sorry if I offended you. Hope to see some pics of the new kids!
