<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So that is what's going on! Buster has done that
forever; stealing things to get treats. I hadn't thought about his making the
trade. I thought I was. Should have known he was in control. Another thing he
does is tear up something of mine if he is jealous of my time or mad because he
got left home. I guess my scent tells him it is Mama's thing and he should
search and destroy. I have books with teeth prints and corners I had to cut off
or whole fronts I had to tear off due to damage. Had I been in the room
when he stole them, I might have saved them with a treat. Such innocent looking
little monsters they are. I use the word affectionately of
course. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
