I spent the next 30 minutes holding him and cuddling and kissing and sweet talking and apologizing. And apologizing. And apologizing. Feeding him tiny pieces of cheese and cookies and doggie treats and chicken.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">I think we're ok. He is under my desk and barks at them but then looks at me to see if i have the spray bottle. I guess I will let him bark.</font></font></div>
