[NAGDU] Intro and great news

[Dan Weiner]

I agree, the problem was that our new friend said "she feels like she is
going to have her first child" It's sort of a feeling of expectation,
excitement and so on, and I do understand what she means, she wasn't saying
the dog is a child--smile

Take care.

Congratulations on the new dog!  I agree with Cindy, it's more like
Christmas than having a child.

You can leave a dog in the house unattended while you stand in the yard and
talk to the neighbor for half an hour.  You can put them in a crate if they
can't be supervised.  Heck, you can attach a dog to a tie down to keep them
from getting underfoot at dinner.  Dogs never talk back.  You'll never get a
call from the school that your dog has had a bit of a shop project with some
calculators and now owes $30 for repairs to school property.

Dogs are not people.  They think differently, act differently,get
information about the world differently and will never be a little person in
a fur coat.  Always keep that in mind when working with a dog.  If you
expect them to be human, you will probably end up being very disappointed.
