I agree and will not pick Piper up if the dog is near and watching; however, I try to keep my eyes peeled and if dog hasn't noticed us, Piper is already in my arms by the time it does...You're so very knowledgeable and I always, always pay careful attention to your advice; I've learned what to watch for and techniques to use---just in day-to-day encounters. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your experience and common sense, gemy; you are truly invaluable! |
