JWS,

The not responding to the pets things is pretty normal. She may be hesitant about engaging in dialog with you, possibly not wanting to mislead you or something along those lines. I sometimes don't get responses to questions about how my kids are doing and things are going well with my sitch. Try not to get angry about it......it will only come off as controlling. In fact if you typically don't get responses using that method then don't use it....it is all part of the cheese-less tunnels theory. You can't keep trying the same thing and expecting different results. You can't force her to respond to something....even if you feel she should from a "moral standpoint". It is very easy to get self righteous in these situations (been there done that).....it doesn't help
