<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Clueless momPerson here. Now even I know that a dog shouldn't run around like an idiot after s/he eats, that's true of any dog. I'm amazed at the number of dogs that have been lost because people don't know this and exercise their dogs right after a meal(throw the ball, go for a walk, play chase, et al). Cyrus knows all of this and he knows he is supposed to go take a nap after dinner. So far so good. Enter .... Snoopy. This little boy is ridiculous. I don't know how many times I've told him that his is NOT to do the basset 500 the second he finishes his meal. NO, we won't play with him. NO, Cyrus won't either. NO, put the ball down. PLEASE ... give that back .... NO I won't chase you for it. SERIOUSLY. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Unfortunately I think he pays even less attention to me about this then he did about the dangers of UV radiation. Now for the sunbathing on his back I can keep sunscreen on his tummy and we're all good. But this charging around like an idiot after dinner has me worried. And no, we don't crate (long story) ... so what's a momPerson to do?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
