Thanks ontheup, I have decided I want to address the matter of all the small talk she tries to do with me. It's a constant barrage of questions like, hey there what are you planning on exploring today, what did you eat today, how are you liking it, and I mean the list goes on and it's only during the work time and weekdays. I do not want to just ignore the texts. I actually want to express that she is in a relationship with another man and even though I am being nice to her we are not friends. I do not want to hear from her unless it has to do with the dogs. But HOW do I express this without putting a rift between us and turning this thing from cordial to what I fear it will become. Please any ideas are greatly appreciated.
