Thank you for your candor on your dog Christine. My personal philosophy in life is "if you are concerned or have questions about something...go to the source". As most of us dog people continue to try and learn and be open to new information concerning our dogs, we can accomplish this if we are allowed to question, ask, or comment from a position that allows us to be safe and to learn. To that end, it is my hope that others respect me, my family, and friends when there are questions or concerns about us or our dogs. Please allow us to answer the sometimes hard, sometimes unfair, or even sometimes the innocent questions that are required of us. To go behind our backs, to diminish our integrity, or to just spitefully run head on and assume, justify, or make up stuff is self serving and self righteous. Do you have any questions of me?
