I've always had success in introducing new dogs to each other by swapping thier collars before the meeting. They smell something familiar on the other dog and assume all is as it should be.<br /><br />Their world is colored with scent instead of light.<br /><br />Funny how we both wrote posts on our blogs about dogs at nearly the same time without knowing it.Timothy Frazierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07233747022474584914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-21796496690652138252010-10-06T08:27:40.809-07:002010-10-06T08:27:40.809-07:00I don't know quite what to say, BZ.

They do require work to housebreak and otherwise train so they add, rather than subtract from our quality of life.<br />Those that don't take the time for that training should not take on the responsibility.Greybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11919862790973521778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-16726675740527783342010-10-05T18:21:02.853-07:002010-10-05T18:21:02.853-07:00On the other hand, I've given nothing to dogs....On the other hand, I've given nothing to dogs. My wife extends everything to dogs. She has 5 of them on her property. She excuses everything they do. I have reigned them in via physical and non-verbal assignations. Some of them bit me. I either eliminated them or killed them or dominated them. One dog that bites me is dead. No matter what my wife may wish. <br /><br />BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-42613036045305686382010-10-05T07:39:11.938-07:002010-10-05T07:39:11.938-07:00Got no answer as to why they do it - I like the fi...Got no answer as to why they do it - I like the first answer on the link you've provided.<br /><br />Here's another interesting one along the same lines:<br /><br />http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/01/0112_060112_dog_cancer.html<br /><br />All I can tell you is that if my dog started paying extra interest in my breath or in a spot on my arm - smelling it, nipping at it - I'd get it checked in a hurry.<br /><br />cjhCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798965643027904154noreply@blogger.com
