on the Oxytocin topic, no I would not give it to any dog on my own, even with my experience I still rely on my son to come home and do it.
hey I waited a LONG time for him to be a VMD, so I wait and pay him with food, he works for food in my house.LOL, he also does tail docking and dew claws. and for that I have to pay him with the deserts too..
