When I first got Den-Den, my mom's neighbor came over to see him. She deliberately got him all excited with a high-pitched excited voice and rumpling his fur and then put him down and said to me, "You're going to have to get him into an obedience class right away to calm him down; he's really high-strung!" Well not until she got him all worked up! Grrrr! She's the one who says her dog is a "real" dog.
