Lets say you have a dog whom you love and who loves you back. You feed your dog and show her all the love you know how, but soon learn your dog is also going to your neighbors for *their* food...and moreover, your dog soon falls in love with your neighbors food and love, too. Your dog sneaks between you and your neighbor for a long time before you discover she is doing this... When you find out, you scold her for her betrayal and she comes back to you, tale between her legs. She stays with you, enjoying only your food for quite some time before you notice she is seeming to be off put again by your offerings, and is asking less and less for your pets and cuddles. And, again, you find she is visiting the same old neighbor for the same food and affection. Frustrated, you are then forced to tell your dog that she must decide between you and the neighbor. Of course, she chooses you--she has a home with you and has been with your family as you welcomed three kids into it. How could she leave that? Time marches on, and after a while, your dog is once again displaying the same old behaviors that were there when she was eating from the neighbors food dish... Now you have forgiven her more than once, offering her chance after chance to show her devotion to you...yet she continues to wander to your neighbor. Question: at what point does this become your own fault? When should your forgiveness end? Is your dog simply wired to wander?? ***I am very curious what the thoughts of Facebook land are...please feel free to share unabashedly. ***
