I can understand having more patience with animals than with humans. Mind you, if you'd seen me about an hour ago getting more and more impatient as I tried to find my two dogs who were hiding in the garden. I was up to my eyeballs in work. It was also their tea time. I actually became quite manic shouting, swearing and waving the packet of dog food in the air, all this while still in my dressing gown!Of course they appeared tails wagging and me - well of course I patted them and said how lovely they were and, of course, I immediately forgot that I was even remotely angry at their disobedience. I'd never make a dog trainer :-)BestGerald-----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: don't be afraidtSince we are on the topic of animals I now know that Mercy College is just a walk from the train station in Dobbs Ferry they offer a program training seeing eye dogs. I would love doing that. I love animal!My dog was 17 when I put her down still have her ashes on my shelf. My other dog and cat are buried in a cemetary. It seems I have more patience with dogs and cats than I do with humans.Pat----- Original Message -----From: [log in to unmask] href="mailto:[log in to unmask]">Paul CarneyTo: [log in to unmask] href="mailto:[log in to unmask]">[log in to unmask]Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2003 9:14 AMSubject: Re: don't be afraidtDear Pamela, Gerald and other cat lovers.

I can cat-egorically tell you that in such cat-astrophies do not require a 'test' of any sort. However, they DO require a cood cat-alyst.
