[nagdu] another what would you do question

[Larry D. Keeler]

Theat is one of my points.  Most long time handlers usually get to know 
there dogs and can interpret the various sounds they make.  This helps keep 
them out of trouble.  Some folks for instance have asked me if my 2 dogs are 
fighting when they bother each other.  Well no, they're just messing with 
one another.  But, once, my pet had something really yummmy to eat and gave 
Holly the mean, You're not getting this!  growl.  I put Holly in her crate 
until Pez finished her snack.  Holly had the same thing but she inhailed the 
thing so fast!  She just wanted Pez's snack and he didn't really want to 
share!  So, to avoid a fight I did what needed toi be done!  No, they have 
never faught and I don't want them to start!
