Just kidding.... I fully agree with you. I actually shopped around for our vet. Took Buster to three different ones, the third I was very comfortable with and so was he. Tonka....he is still leary of those he does not recognize. YES...they do recognize and remember. Ours both come running when my husband goes out into the yard. They know he is a sucker for treats. They both know the hibiscus will be flowing generously when he is outside. You know Niki....I would bet that Teddy loves his rides because he knows what to expect at the end....new grazing, as I bet he loves his walks also. I know both of ours do.
