I'd have to disagree with that. Ever seen dogs playing a game of tug? There's a heck of a lot of growling and none of it has any serious intent. My dogs often growl when we play wrestling-type games or I let them attack me under the blanket, etc. But I'd have no problems at all telling that from a growl they might address towards another dog that is bothering them. It's much harder to judge though with a dog you don't know well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:238909 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
