[nagdu] posts and petting

[Eve Sanchez]

I have a false name for the public. This way I do not come across as
unwilling to share and Taylor does not pay attention to the name calling.
In one sense I think the refusal to give the name is better, because it
gets the point across that you do not want them communicating with the dog
at all. I am almost ready to go there I think. At least I have been
thinking of it for a while.
