I learned that I am an inadequate dog owner. Greg does everything perfectly and we should follow his advice. I admire him for being able to control 4 great danes at a time. But really, who actually checks their dogs all over for burrs every time they come back from a nature walk. Not me.
His insights on grieving and his stories about his babies are worthwhile and instructive.
