Thanks for your Animal Communication Level I Class. I came home and sat on the floor, eyes closed, with my dogs, Buck and Lucy. Buck has a sore paw and he finally let me look at, and handle it after I explained I didn't want to hurt him, just take a look -- nothing serious, no blood, I'm thinking bruised, probably hurt it in a digging frenzy. Lucy was very, very excited and was all over me, giving me kisses (normally she reserves her kisses for men), and licking my ear. Thanks again for everything. I promised Buck a chance to explore, so I'd better get ready, he and Lucy are waiting for me.
