Hello and Dooks to all:
I don't post often, usually just have time to read (and that just barely!)
I usually e-mail privately.
I just have to respond to the post by "MC" regarding corporal punishment.
MC wrote:

EEEKKK!
I, too, adjust the type and degree handling my animals, furred and
non-furred. I, however, prefer to use DISCIPLINE instead of PUNISHMENT.
There is a fundamental difference between those two words. BTW - I
recently left my job as a child-protective investigator and MC would have
had problems regarding throwing water in the face(s) as a "solution" with
his human children's behavior. It is surprising that after the uproar-
over the Letterman incident, that he admits this!
Remember, our children, be they furred or be they non-furred, need our
love, devotion and wisdom to enable them to achieve their potential. they
do not need abusive punishments to control their behaviors! -
