Re: OT was Andreas bites now dogs

That's what someone else told me Kitty, explain it to him when I'm calm.
Truthfully, I think I'd rather say, I'll meet you outside, because I
suspect he's the type of person that won't "get it." He's used to his dog,
who is friendly as can be, and although sounds ferocious, would never bite
a soul.  

I don't think Lennox would either, but I can't be 100% certain yet. 

Chris, you are right of course. Stay calm. I did manage a modicum of calm
while he was pulling on Lennox. I spoke very calmly to him and assured him
he was a good boy and that it was OK, while continuously rubbing his back
to let him know I was there, all the while telling Jamie to stop. Jamie is
the kind of person who always has a response that's his way when you try
and explain something to him. That's why I say it probably wouldn't do any
good to try and make him understand. Like I said, he's an idiot. I've come
to that conclusion. Now I just need to learn to stop being nice to idiots.
