Hey Witti --
I'm glad you've had such great experiences with your dogs. I truly get the grooming and bonding experience -- mine's got a ton of hair too, and he's fun to groom.
Vicki Hearne, a poet and animal trainer, has written a wonderful book about the nature of the human-animal bond. It's called _Adam's Task_. I can't recommend it enough - my T, who is a dog person, actually recommended it to me!
My T has asked me to bring the dog in. I'm not sure I'm ready, but it is a nice thing to think about. I too would love to hear from other people if they've done the same.
Yours,
BSD
