Ya know that scene in Up (i think), where a kid sees a fluffy stuffie, and screams "its so FLUFFY!!!" and kinda strangle-hugs it? Sometimes stopdog elicits those kinds of feelings in me. I dont see why i should have to stifle myself. Who are we, edith and archie bunker? You could tell archie didnt reeeeeeally mind, gruff as he was.

I do try to respect her space however and not to overdo it. A successful relationship is built on compromise and thats what we're learning here, right? I dont tell the gosling he must put pants on - i just dont look! boundaries!
