My dog is very strange. She's incredibly self-willed and is a whole lot of bark, but once she has determined you to be no immediate threat, she kind of edges closer to that stupid everyone-should-love-me thing.

She stands very aloof from me nowadays, though, because she doesn't like that I leave her all week.

And I love stuff like that, reading about it that is. Too bad my mind simply doesn't work in those directions at all...

However, I can say from experience that Labs can get on the nerves pretty quickly.
