Atl Dave... I am going to give myself the gift of backing off just a bit in the "keeper" role; the interesting thing will be to see if I can do it.
H came through "date nite" last nite with flying colors, except he broke a toe when we were ML ( don't ask, LOL).
I do feel at this point better differentiated and self defined...I want to keep the goals of 2x/week ML going, and I also know now what behaviors to call H on when he feels the threat of intimacy.
While I still need to keep the concept of "dog training" in my head and keep reinforcing it, I want to balance that with just loving the dog for who he is, snarls and all. ( Sorry, Hank).
Chris-- I wish you a healthy and happy marriage in your future...keep us posted.
