Re: Cesar Millan - Dog behaviour

Invincible,

What a beautiful post.  And you are right in every respect.

I will add one example.  I live out in the country and I will rescue any dog in distress.  Actually, I will rescue any animal in distress.  A few years ago, while in California, I rescued an abandoned baby crow and one day when it was ready, it flapped its wings and flew off. I had named him/her Heckle after the Heckle and Jeckle cartoons.  Actually, that's a touching story and I remember when Heckle said goodbye.  Until then he/she was my buddy.  I would extend my arm and Heckle would climb on.  I would give it scraps of food and Heckle would eat.  When Heckle declared its independence, at first I would put scraps of food out so he would not starve and at first it would come back and eat them, kind of saying hello, but I stayed back and watched.  And then one day i saw him join a bunch of crows and he never came back for his scraps again.

But wait, I'm off track.  My four dogs are all big babies.  A couple of years ago my son and daughter came to visit.  My daughter thought that I should get a real watchdog and my son replied, nah, any dog mom gets will end up being just like her.  LOL  And he is right.

Hugs,
