Well... I suppose this is going back to why I am so very fond and intrigued by EQ and emotional management. To me, just from my own experience, it is IMPOSSIBLE to BE emotional and THINK rationally at the same time. The emotions here, just on this board, are starting to run high.
I'm not criticizing anyone for it, either.
There is nothing wrong with BEING emotional (though society has really done a negative spin on that concept, huh?).
"Your being emotional (with sneer in voice)."
I used to cringe when I heard that... and stuff, stuff, stuff went the emotions.
And emotions may not go 'away' so quickly. They may calm down over a day or two or three. But they may also escalate quickly, and that is usually because whatever is triggering them has not be addressed.
My point only. Mrs. HD is giving HD a lot of information through her actions and reactions. I think he should listen so he can make some rational decisions, once HIS emotions have calmed down.
HD is a smart puppy, guys. All this wasn't created overnight, and it isn't going to get better overnight. He knows what he needs to do...
