Mink _ Nothing is ever perfect, I am sure we will have ups and downs. But we both have learned that it is how you deal with those ups and downs as a team.

I think the piecing phase is too personal. It is a time to work together as a couple to bring new life into your relationship. Personally, it's not something that I am comfortable discussing on the boards. I think Hound felt the same way.

I believe that the boards are most appropriate for getting you to the "piecing" stage. Once you get there, it's time that you put 100% of your trust and confidence in your mate. Outside opinions during this phase could cloud your decision making. Once you get to piecing, you should be working as a team.
