Re: strong pup's

[CAEShore@aol.com]

Hi All,
I have not answered this request for info until now because I've been 
thinking on where Ruby Rose and I stand on the willfulness issue.  I think 
that is what "strong pups" would mean.  

Anyway, if I have done anything right since RR came to live here, I think it 
might be that I have from the get-go been a believer that I had to always 
win.  Read that someplace.  Even read that you shouldn't play tug of war 
unless you are the winner at the game.  It has been hard on me from time to 
time, but at the moment (could change any day I suppose) I'm the boss and 
can't identify anything currently that she tries to be a brat and strong 
willed about.

On the other hand, I just read over Gina's e mail and she stated "Kasey 
Cooper when he was here was a handful and he was displaying some 
disrespectful behaviors such as jumping up and not listening."  I hate to hem 
and haw to you all, but now I'm confused again about whether I understand 
what "strong pups" really means.  Don't pay any attention to me.  I'll get 
back to you all later, if I figure it out.  Carolyn
