I never take anything on a public forum personally. Some people can be ..well..people can suck
Trust is an issue. Alice is very large, and came to me that way. It isn't like I was able to bond with her as a baby. I like your idea of letting her roam on the bed. I will have to do that and put the dogs in a down/stay on the floor. They show interest, and I dont want to make her nervous when I am trying to work with her.
