Oh...and I raised Daisy up from a pup. I think the fact that I worked all day, plus she may have just may have been inclined, temperamentally, to being a little more of the independent type. And when I left her to go work all day she had to learn yo be more self reliant. I was thinkn she was gonna be a big time lap dog and she's not. But we ARE tied to the hip......just in a different way. She's a very, very loving and sweet little girl. So you see....you can raise a dog from a pup and get something different than what you originally had in mind. I hope you'll hang in there and I DO wish you all the best. |
