[nagdu] some advice

[Lisa belville]

Sounds like a good plan.  She's not willing to learn, let alone compromise. 
My parents had a dog when I was born and they made it a point to introduce 
me to the dog when I came home from the hospital.  The dog actually helped 
me start walking when I was a year or so old.  So, it can be done, but the 
people have to be willing to get past whatever unrealistic fears they have.

it's going to be something else that would scare them.

It seems I have 3 personalities. One that has a plan, one that completely 
screws up the plan, and one that says "what the hell happened to the plan?"
