<body>Paisley here,<div><br /></div><div>Love you too Chomper. I learned long ago to never, never growl or try to bite my momperson. She is very good to me and my notabasset sister Maggie and would never hit or hurt us. I did learn however that when she says no, she means it. When I first came to live here I growled and snapped one night when she woke me on the bed to make me move. All that got me was pushed off the bed. I got back, she pushed me off again. This went on 3 or 4 times and then she made me leave the bedroom and shut the door. I was devastated. I cried, I scratched and I barked to no avail. I was not allowed entry. Believe it or not I had to sleep alone in one of the other bedrooms. Well since that night I have never messed with her again. Now I meekly move when mom comes to bed, so I guess I showed her. Maggie on the other hand is a shark. She doesn't bite, but she is a little to enthused when getting treats and can grab. Now I don't get it, because if mom says no sharking she gently takes the treat. I have never been anything less than perfect with taking treats. Why you can even take stuff I shouldn't have out of my mouth. So I guess I do have some manners. </div><div><br /></div><div>vastrand@comcast.net</div></body></html>
