[nagdu] Just catching up / Tipton's on going training

[Natalie]

Hi Mardi,
I know what you mean.  I hate when people don't know to socialize and train 
their dogs and don't say a word to you when your dog's space gets intruded 
on.  Good luck with training Tipton, and hope she didn't get sick from that 
cord.
Best,
Nat and Liam Joshua
