I've been thinking a lot lately about my "socialization issues". Mom says I have them because dad never let me play with other dogs when I was younger and because in my formative years I had a human who wasn’t very nice to me. But I don’t like to talk about that. Anyway, mom has been working with me and I’m still not so great around strangers and other dogs, but I really think that blogging with my feline brother Nuno and my two best buds, Tobey and Bob, has been really good for me. It’s boosted my self esteem, encouraged me to expand my vocabulary, opened my eyes to new and different ideas and beliefs, helped me get through my first heartbreak, I’m becoming a better communicator and it helps to keep me amused and out of trouble. Dad doesn’t see the point in "playing around on the computer" but he’s a big doink. Mom is all about feeling good... she tells me "If it makes you feel good and you enjoy it, P, then you do it." And she prefers I blog to feel good rather than drag my ass across the floor or lick my doodle. So, I encourage any canine or feline out there who has been a little bit shy about blogging to get over it and give it a try! It’s wonderful!

Hey Parker!
I am thrilled to find out that the BLOGGING has been of such great benefit to you! I also have found that it has helped Tobey learn to express himself better. He's generally shy by nature, and now I find that he's far more chatty. Me, I've always been quite outgoing, but for him - and now you, it's been wonderful! I think that it's just a matter of time before you are ready to take the next step: The Telephone!!
