I guess third time is a charm. . . . Sorry for the blank emails cousins. I swear I don't do it on purpose. Yes, Jackie I have them. Muscle spasms that is. Sleep on the couch for various reasons; one is Fibromyalga which is arthritis of the muscles and tendons. When I got my new puppy (a one and one-half year old shi-itsu {ignore the spelling please, Pat}), I must have kicked him because he bit my toe. Now how can I blame him? I certainly would want to take a bite out of someone if they kicked me. This happened two more times and he soon learned to scrunch way down on the couch or get up and leave. No more biting of toes, thank heavens! Fortunately he didn't break the skin but it stung like Hades. Norma

Evidently, your dog is a bit shy in the brains department, subsection "personal survival" department. Pat >
