Sorry. I was using Netscape to post my messages and the default was set
to HTML. I *thought* I had changed it successfully to not use HTML, but
apparently not before this.

I'm both Mom2adog and Nat!

And here's what I wrote, now in PLAIN TEXT format:


I make sure and tell my 4-year old golden retriever EVERY day how much I
love her and how happy I am that she's in my life. I tell her how
beautiful she is, and how smart she is, what a clever girl she is (which
is all the truth of course). I waited years to have my own golden and
I tell her how it was worth the wait. I know she understands the words
I say, as I say them all the time.

As for talking back, my girl definitely does occasionally "talk back"
like a sassy little girl would. My golden will throw a 'temper tantrum'
if
she doesn't get her way; she stomps her foot and makes the funniest
noises. In the mornings when madame wants her breakfast, she
wakes me up by strumming the mini-blinds in my bedroom like a harp.
She'll escalate to hitting me with her paw if I don't get up. Spoiled?
Oh yeah. Spoiled rotten. She's so smart it's scary sometimes. I don't
think I'd change a thing about her. She's perfect in her own
imperfect way and every day is a blessing that I have her!

This seems like a lot of work. I mean, are you Mom or are you
Nat?

Well, welcome both Mom'n'Nat.

That's wonderful. Your Golden Retriever is a lucky dog. What's
her name?
