I am working to train Fate not to climb on people or jump on them, and I am having limited success. Some people, like Mike, don’t mind, and Maria thinks I am not serious about discouraging Fate’s impulsive affection. She has very powerful instincts for loving people, and I am not certain it can be broken. I used a choke chain sometimes, and my voice sometimes. I don’t know if Maria is correct or not, and when I see an image like this, I guess I don’t want to stop it. Dogs are a reflection of what we truly want, I will have to think about it.
