her up often, stroke her and when she gets wiggly, we let her go hopefully=
teaching her to associate hands with pleasure.=A0 My girl is deaf so shout=

nt?=A0 Her name is Luci(fur)=A0 Her brother, Noodle,=A0 is in the 2nd pic.)

aying, stop playing.=A0 I let my hand go totally limp right when my girl wo=
uld bite and I think she has slowly gotten the message with=A0 me.=A0 My hu=

the time.=A0 Now I need to teach HIM to not temp/taunt=A0 her to attack.
