[nagdu] Do you ever get angry with our dogs and how to controle it?

[Lisa Irving]

Wow! You really sound very genuine and quite loving. You're doing just fine. 
Our dog guides are, at times, just like precocious children. Even reasonable 
and caring parents blow a gasket  occasionally.

I get irritated, and sometimes, quite riled at Bernie's behavior. The door 
swings both ways. I'm guessing he gets annoyed and vexed at me too. We get 
over things pretty quickly. I don't know if Bernie is able to experience 
what guilt feels like. I do guilty quite well for the both of us. Really, 
BREATH slowly and evenly, and do what you're doing.

Lisa and Bernie
