I don't disagree, and I can take things away from my dog, including food, but honestly, if somebody comes to my place with a small child (gotta be honest, that'll happen rarely since I don't like dealing with small children aside from socializing dogs), the dog is put away in his kennel with a chew toy, where he can't be bothered and everybody is safe. I'm not willing to take a risk of a parent that won't discipline their child picking on my dog, and when my dog bites have the dog be labeled "Vicious" - Jackie In a message dated 1/10/2007 1:17:42 PM Central Standard Time, judsohngsd@xxxxxxx writes: You should always be able to take food away from a dog.......... ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
