Rachel, Sorry to have taken so long to get back to you but this is a hectic household. Thanks for the input. I have talked to a fellow who is studying animal behavior and tried to follow a couple of his suggestions, but but I couldn't even implement them. I assume that these techniques are designed to affect her over-all emotional state, and not anything in particular in and of themselves. He is coming out here Sunday to observe her, and perhaps I can find out more about it all. If I should learn anything spectacular to share with you or others with this problem, I will do so.
