Rambo used to attack all men. He would run into a room just to flog them. He even called my son to get him in the same room.

One of my disabled veteran friends started coming over every day for a cup of coffee and fix whatever I put on the dining room table. He always wore long pants and real shoes because he had no feeling in his legs. Rambo laid into him about three times with no response. Rambo accepted him as a buddy. Rambo would even yell "Harold's here" when he heard his truck.

Harold is gone now but soon after his passing another disabled vet started coming over to fix things. Rambo saw his cane and just accepted him as a buddy. He has not said Ron's name yet but climbs down and comes running when he hears his car.

Sometimes being ignored for bad things is a good teacher. If a man comes in wearing long pants I just tell him that Rambo cannot hurt him and just ignore.
