[nagdu] possible interference?

[Tami Kinney]

Chantal and Debbie,

It sure sounds like interference to me, too. I'm wracking my brains to 
remember legalese, but that is best left to better brains. /smile/

I am glad you and Motley are both well, Chantal! If Motley's only 
response was to stand in front of you and bristle, then he is a good 
boy! That may not be the exact expected response, but for a youngster in 
that setting... Or am I just opinionated because Motley is a black 
poodle? /smile/

Hugs to both of you and scritches to Motley and his non bristling curls. 
/grin/

Is he doing well afterwards, keeping his calm and all? Mitzi used to 
really surprise me when surprising scary things happened, be it dogs or 
cars running stoplights through our space (except she moved us out of 
that space!) to loud whiz bangs or... Worst of all, small humans! She 
likes the kiddos now, but they used to be the scariest things on earth. 
So with her high alert tendencies and energy and poodle lack of mellow 
Zen, I kept expecting her to end up over the edge permanently... But, 
no, once it was over and I had reassured her and praised her -- even 
when I had to do some training to teach her what to do if that happened 
again -- she was actually braver. Strange dogs, aren't they?

Best,

Tami
