>>Dear Marsha,
>>I haven't put up the tree yet.  I was seeking advice, first.
>>When our cat, Tom, was a young boy, (he died at age twenty-two)
>>but at that time he knocked over our tree more than once.  I
>>replaced a special glass ornament withwice, and then couldn't
>>find it again.  I have purchased special ornaments for our three
>>children each year from the time they were born.
>>Freddie, our oldest son, who is a  chef,  some oldsters such as
>>me,  may remember him  from national conventions, is turning 35,
>>and I thought of discctinuing the tradition.  People are saying
>>that I should continue it, lol!! More than you all wanted (know
>>on a dog guide list!!!!! Sorry!!!

>>>mary,

>>>I am sorry to hear that your having some troubles with Felix.
>>Every single dog has there little quirks.  and your correct no
>>should feel bad for those things that are dogs do not do well.

>>>Have you thought about doing some behavioral conditioning with
>>the tree? Like for example, take the pup near the tree.  If he
>>goes for an ornament, correct him, say No.  Make a big deal out
>>of it, be very displeased.  If he does not go for an ornament,
>>praise, praise, praise him.  It might take him a few times to get
>>this down.

>>>If it makes you feel any better, I have been home a little over a
>>month with my pup from GDF.  And we are still having relieving
>>issues.  And most recently, she my pup has put on her pokey pants
>>when working in familiar routes.

>>>I don't know how long you have been home.  But all of our dogs
>>have there quirks.  Some quirks we can leave with, others we can
>>not.  If you made to feel bad again by someone on the list,
>>please email me off list, please.

>>>thank you,
