The whole manipulation game isn't new...  and as I said before, it's
really a separate issue.  One still draws the boundary lines for what is
acceptable behavior vs what isn't, and then needs to stand firm on that.
But some children really do need a little extra closeness early on to be
independent later.  Tantrums when one gets set down, though, should
still be treated as unacceptable, from the start... anxiety is one thing
but a tantrum another... ;)

 JK> Yes, I've seen that as well.. wasn't anxious to try it.. but I did try

Yeah I'm not sure about the hemp milk, either..  ;)

 JK> Just until I can bang some sense into them Lol.. seriously, I haven't

 JK> they just seem to take everything as a joke Lol.. ("OH!  I got your

Laughing is a good thing... one needs that as a release... ;)  Haven't
had dogs myself, just watched others with them, but I thought that the
earlier one started the training the better, just like with kids... ;)

 JK> Yep.. My daughter had tried it early on and wasn't crazy about it..
 JK> but I think someone got something right finally (g). 

I've tried a couple of different brands of the almond milk.. both in the
Vanilla flavor.  Silk and Blue Diamond.  They tasted about the same to
me... both have a smooth milk-like taste/feel, with a definite pleasant
almond aftertaste...  I'm still a regular milk drinker, but this is a
nice alternative.  Had somewhat of an almond milkshake taste to it... :)
