If you take your dog, lock him up in the trunk of a car, and take your wife/girlfriend, and lock her up in the trunk of another car; go back an hour later, and let both of them out, who is going to be overjoyed, and happy to see you. I tell you, my dog, even when he does something beastly in the house, tears or shreds something, I can't hardly fuss at him anymore. He is just so.... devoted and loving to me. He looks at me after an event like that with that "I really didn't mean to do that" look in his eyes,, and I just HAVE to forgive him. A true friend, and really, a part of me. MM
