I am glad to see that yousaid that!!!  i do the same except i scruff and
tell them no and than blow in their face...its so nice to see a humane
treatment approach instead of a thumb or flick on the nose!!!  i try to
treat my animals the way that i would want to be treated..in fact animal
trainers use your method and ones similar...SO HERES A BIG HUG FROM US!!!
agin thanks for being a humane mommy...its great to see that!!!
