She could take him or leave him and preferably she'd like to see him gone but most days she’s okay with him. I’ve actually seen why he growls at...
What I’m saying is that his default behaviour is now a sit / stay in front of me.
It’s kinda like when we obsess over our children who we think are gonna choke to death but never do.
I didn’t mean to send chills. They are very resilient. I once saw an entire plstic bag come out. Sewing needle, magnets were the scariest and I’m...
