She's talking about being available for them the minute you get home, and loving them. In his first posts, it was clear that Nodak was neglecting these basic needs of Tanner. He is improving by leaps and bounds by just trying to make a better home for Tanner, but its still not healthy for any creature, animal or human to be considered nothing more than an "it."  
Thank goodness Chris and Heidi care enough to try to improve.   |

I know, I was agreeing with Yorkiedaze, but I also wanted to post the reality of that with a situation of being away for long hours.  I wanted to to show that I don't leave mine in a cage for long, long hours, but at even what I was doing (which I felt was minimum containment) - that I still have some mental and behavioral issues to deal with. 
So, I could only image what kind of mental and behavioral issue Tanner will have with his 'living' conditions on a daily basis.
