[QUOTE="soberups, post: 900681, member: 14668"] I once had a sup on an OJS tell me I was "wasting time" being friendly with the dogs. I have delivered to the same rural area for 17 years. In that span of time, every single dog that was on that route when I started has died, and an entire new generation of dogs has taken its place. The first time I meet a "new" dog, I always take a minute or two to try and make friends with it. The dogs [I]first impression[/I] of the UPS man will almost always determine how it behaves towards us [I]for the remainder of its life. [/I]That initial two minute investment of time will often save us [I]hours[/I] of hassle and worry over the subsequent decade and a half of the dogs lifespan...because by the time [I]I[/I] get done with it, it will be a tail-wagging, hand-licking biscuit-moocher instead of a potential safety issue to the other drivers it may encounter when I am gone. It creates goodwill towards us on the part of the owner; its better for the dog; and its better for [I]us.[/I] [/QUOTE]
