Rox and Karyn,
Oh, I so totally hear you! Been there, done that. Always have, always
will. /grin/
The trick, I have decided, is to not let the dog know you're worrying =
about
all that. Anybody got a way to fool a dog about what you're feeling?
/smile/
Mine is dead asleep, poor dear. I will be taking her out to play and =
run
off her stress soon with her favorite kid. /smile/

that=20
she will wash out which is not a guarantee that she won't but I'm so =

break like you said; mostly because she had a big day Tuesday and =
because I=20
was exhausted and was afraid to take her out around the 4th of July for =

somebody would scare her with fireworks or something.
Then when we took a break I worried that she'd forget everything she =

and that I was messing her up by not doing enough.
ugh; it is so much harder when you're doing it for you and your =

She went out with me this morning and was perfect and I see that all of =
