The T could fall,or bite the owner. To them I think we are like just another surface to explore, so in my opinion its like the first handling over and over. Some T's will handle it better than others, for example a curly would be better than say an OBT. It depends on the T's nature skittish aggressive or defensive, all variables need to be considered. I won't say handle a T,also I won't say don't just remember to take responsibility for any outcomes foreseen or unforeseen. As for not having another T,this is very sad to read but a personal choice. If you have them for a while,you will start to realize their wonders. Hope to see a change of mind,if not hope all goes well in your futures.</blockquote>
