My kids? I don`t always understand them, or agree with them, but we can talk, sometimes we all make sense, sometimes none of does to the other side. Certainly not perfect myself, but tried to learn from my mistakes, and keep my kids from repeating them.

My dog, only one I owned outright with out others training in mis-behavior. Not perfect but a good boy and listens, well, as well as the other kids.

Hmmm? fishing tackle and tools? what else do you need?
