But then others warn to never even touch it. So lots of opinions on it out there. I hope I come across one so I can study it a bit more.Rose ~ from Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908281749611280188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-42041020280505346432012-06-21T02:59:47.893-04:002012-06-21T02:59:47.893-04:00Oh June, I am so relieved that I am not alone in t...Oh June, I am so relieved that I am not alone in this wide world in the way in which I get up from the ground!!

I'm teaching my dog to stop & stay before we cross a rarely used dirt road to get to the field we walk in.
