Hi Nancy, My name is Mimi Rosen. I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve included a link to your article “Sit, Really?” on my fb page. I’m running a blog called Cassidy’s Journey. This weeks post was about teaching Cassidy to sit. http://www.mimirosen.com/teaching-cassidy-to-sit/ Then a friend made me aware of Turid Rugaas’ view on the subject. Yours was the only article I could find that reflected this. Thank you for posting. It’s well written and informative.
I just wanted to spotlight the different view.
Hi Mimi,
please post it, that’s what they are there for, just make sure to include my name as the author. I’m popping over to read about Cassidy right now.
All the best, Nancy
Hi Nancy,
By some odd chance, you know how that is, I came across your blog! I’m very excited, because I feel we share the same point of view on many things. I love dogs, and I agree with
what you say in referring to an animal that has been rescued as “my rescue”. It always does seem as if somebody wants kudos for that. It is a living creature, not something for one to bolster their ego, right? I look forward to reading your blogs in years to come.

Hi Stacy, well it is nice to ‘virtually’ meet you. Nancy
