OMG I could have written this post hun. I've had the worst day today and she is getting progressively worse. She knows how to be gentle and usually is but today we had the works, shoving, scratching, slaps, lying on him, putting her feet up on him etc.... If I take her away she just laughs and comes back for more. I've thought that I've been giving her loads of attention but it seems that all I have to do is say hi mate to James and its time to play up. I guess we just have to be persistent and up the attention we give even more. I think my Iz has worked out that he is here to stay now and isn't just here for a visit!
Hopefully some wise women who have been where we are will pop in soon.
