Well we'll see.. there are a few things she's picking up that I have to get

Nope, more of herd heirarchy with a touch of "heat" crankiness.

Nope in this case it rated a hit. As I've always noted... there are two 
things that always rate a severe reaction: Biting and kicking. In this case 
it was a simple hit to bring the point home.

She likes it fine.. and always has since the third time we did it.. since 
it's an itchy..  just trying to adjust to serious heats.
