May 3 Chat Part 11 Curlywhirly: hehehe yes big is good Robin1: yep and so can retrievers Robin1: he takes a lot from my son Margo: my 10 yo is overly familiar with people--people he just met are his best friends Curlywhirly: we had pet rats, wonderful critters but Mr. 18 was too rough Scifinut: we have a GSP--very hyper and needs a lot of activity lol Crackerjack: he’s a smart dog though, he has learned to live in a distance from Mr. 13 but act as a buffer at the same time...not always but gosh it’s so neat when he tries to help <note to self to give Einstein an extra treat tonight> Kodysmom: that dog was happy with a whole first grade class climbing all over her lol Dr. Fristad: have any of you gotten a dog from a shelter? I have been impressed that many kids with bpd have a real affinity for other “hurt” creatures. Dr. Fristad: and some very nurturing behavior can come out this way Robin1: oh Scifinut: both of our dogs are “rescue” dogs Dr. Fristad: great! Curlywhirly: yep our dogs are both rescues Mom2aspclboy: Our new puppy (black lab mix) is from a shelter Kodysmom: yep, ours was a rescue Crackerjack: tried that, was worse but we also rescued a very small dog, the lab is more “intimidating” and he is much less likely to take things on E Margo: we talk about a puppy, but haven’t committed yet Curlywhirly: 100 lb of wild lab-ness can definitely be intimidating Crackerjack: YES MA’AM that is what I was counting on :D Supernova: I need to go--thank you all (especially Dr. F) for the interesting discussion Supernova: night Scifinut: bye super Kodysmom: bye supernova Curlywhirly: Night supernova Dr. Fristad: you are most welcome--I wish you the very best! ***supernova has Quit [QUIT: ] Crackerjack: so glad you came, got some great stuff from your questions Mom2aspclboy: Our lab is a mix and whatever she is mixed with is small and so is she....She’s been great for my son and is turning out to be a very respectable service dog for him--unintentionally so, but that’s what’s happening Crackerjack: oh poo I was too slow Curlywhirly: Dr. Fristad, I am not sure how much more time you have available for us tonight Dr. Fristad: I will need to call it quits pretty soon Margo: question.... Mr. 10 fantasizes extreme violence--he doesn’t act out on it, I find it unsettling to say the least Dr. Fristad: I hope you have found the book useful Crackerjack: Kodysmom did you ever ask your question? Curlywhirly: perhaps Kodysmom can ask her question before you have to zip along? Margo: not normal behavior? Scifinut: I have to say, ms. 14 thinks its SO COOL that we are having this chat lol Crackerjack: lol Kodysmom: my question was just how to help our kids w/misinterpretation of social cues Dr. Fristad: that does sound unsettling, does he clearly understand “I can think about it, I just can’t do it?” Margo: hi ms. 14
