People get mad with 8-week-old puppies for making mistakes because they don't realize this.

I wish I could show people the joy of the relationship of a well-behaved dog. Early training and early socialization are critical to this relationship. Some of these dogs will get a second chance. Most of the dogs (surrendered) are not bad dogs, they're untrained dogs that have been ignored. All they need is to be taught manners.

It's like dating a beautiful model; then you find out she's psychotic and has habits that put you over the edge.

Several times we weren't mentally tough enough. We had careless mistakes, holding and blocking in the back, and that backed us up the whole second half.

We made too many mistakes defensively. We'll go back at it, regroup. They showed some life, so we'll keep plugging away.

The turnovers almost doomed us. I always said the team that makes the fewest mistakes wins. We both were throwing the ball around like dodge ball.
