I also hope I haven't drifted too much in the past, if so accept my regrets for being a bore?
Both of us have had several dogs over our lives and would never release an 'in-season' bitch at any time. Indeed Irina has awoken at 5.30am each day during this episode to ensure maximum possible seclusion when Crystal was outside, as she was worried about her exposure even on a lead. She also took a riding crop as accompaniment!
As regards house guests I recognize familiarity as a concept. I was merely using the contrast between her attitude to people as against other dogs, not as axiomatic reasoning for the reaction in itself.
Reluctantly I still find your 'Wake-up' call reference both perplexing and to be candid, conclusively hurtful. I must obviously appear as either very naive, or in need of care?
I think it best to let matters and my future exposure rest there.
May I thank most sincerely all the people who have helped me on the forum, as I posted with growing confidence and trust amongst a mainly female audience. We really both express our feelings here, but I appear in the singular, as control of my native language is superior to Irina's and she didn't wish to be misunderstood.
In closing I will always retain the memory of many comments here with feelings of affection, gratitude and kindness, reference the little people we all love so much... |
You have my sincerest apologies... I was just very concerned from what I had pieced together and obviously taken 'out of context', and felt I had to post, rather than let it go unsaid. I am truly relieved that I am in error, and I ask that you please forgive me... again, I am so sorry to have hurt your feelings.
