Topic : 03/21 Is This Normal?

I agree with naliniss. Even those without a pet  should check out the Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan. Here's why...

It is fascinating to witness how his "pack-oriented philosophy" can help the pet's owners to realize that they are the source of the problems. By understanding the nature of the dog, i.e. its instinct to belong to a strong, stable, and organized pack following the rules established by the pack leader, the pet's owners learn how to correct their own behavior and to become calm and assertive, the pack leader(s) of their dog. Even the baby can be one of the pack leaders in the family!

So Linda, the real question is: Is Sasha a happy, well balanced, calm, and submissive dog?

Cesar Millan has been called a Dr. Phil for dogs, and for good reason. Cesar's amazing rehabilitations of aggressive, scared, lazy, compulsive, and jealous dogs captured the national spotlight when his National Geographic Channel (NGC) series Dog Whisperer premiered in September 2004. Regular viewers soon came to realize it wasn't the dogs but the quirky owners who needed Cesar's help the most.

Dr.Phil should gather some dog related cases and invite Cesar Millan as an expert. The huge audience will learn something about pets and will give some hope instead of euthanasia to many dog's owners.

1. Animals are wonderful, but once you have kids, you realize just how NOT human animals are. They lack the souls that God gives us. They should be treated well, they are still not par with human beings. A wife should have more respect for her husband's feelings (and vice versa if the tables were turned). How dare she not give her life partner more human respect and dignity. She should be embarrassed by her actions!

2. There's no excuse for moodiness or losing ones temper. Get control of yourself! Until you can and do, you're just a spoiled child who needs to grow up. Don't waste your time on someone who's acting like a child. Their behavior will only get worse once you're married (and as long as you enable them).

3) Don't try to change people once you marry them. If you accepted their lifestyle choices PRIOR to marriage, you are stuck with those choices after marriages if and until THEY decide they want to give those choices up. How dare you DEMAND that they give up a hobby they had prior to marriage (a hobby YOU  knew about). You can ask them nicely to quit (and tell them how worried you are), but that's about it. You're being unfair in expecting them to change just because you married them.

4) Picky eaters are weird, but most of us have weird habits of one kind or another. Hopefully Dr. Phil can help the guest with HER problem if she truly wants to stop her habit.

When I saw Linda feeding her dog Sasha with her own fork it was sickening. I don't care what she says dogs do lick their butts. I mean I love animals, but I'm not going to share food from my fork with them. Doesn't Linda realize that the dog has  germs. I mean she might as well put the fork in a commode and eat what is in there. Anyway that's up to her, but I hope she doesn't send the wedding invitations with the dogs name on them.

...The more I know about people...the more I love my dog!!  heh heh

I strongly agree with you one this one I am also an animal lover I have three dogs and also a little cockatiel thank you for letting me read your message
