dear john, try to understand that only love can open new doors. it is like sunshine versus storm.
storm and sunshine were talking one day, and storm challenged sunshine to a contest. storm said it could get the coat off little boy, and sunshine couldn't. sunshine said fine, let's try.
so storm blew and blew and puffed, but the more it blew, the harder little boy hung on to his coat. finally storm was forced to give up, and said to sunshine "fine, i couldn't, but neither can you."
so sunshine came out, and with all his loving warmth, began to shine gently upon little boy. pretty soon, little boy became more relaxed and comfortable, and finally, to the chagrin of storm, took his coat off.
so john, bring love to these sprayers, and soon they will take their coats of upsettedness and anger off, and fill the internets with love.
or in other words, a ray of sunshine does shine on every dog's ass once in awhile...
