Replying to a message of Roger Nelson to Bob Ackley:   
      
    BA>> Jake has since learned that *I* am the dominant male of the    
    BA>> group.   
      
    RN> The way to do that when you first get them is blow in their nose.    
    RN> It's a method I learned from a dog trainer many years ago and it   
    RN> works.   
      
    BA>> I should note that Jake is the only one of (12) dogs (6 in the house   
    BA>> and 6 in an outside kennel) that isn't neutered.  That's going to    
    BA>> happen when my tax refund comes in early next year.   
      
    RN> I thought you were trying to cut down on your number of dogs?  (-:   
      
   I'm not actively seeking out more, but I took Jake in in what was supposed   
   to be a temporary arrangement while his owner/master was in the hospital.   
   Unfortunately the fellow died, that wasn't in the script.  No family or   
   relatives   
   and nobody else seemed to want to take the dog, so here he stays.
