One of the tricks I have learned about flooding is that you can use BARN DRI to soak up water in your kennels - a 50lb bag (looks like a 10 lb bag of sugar) runs about $3 at any horse supply and is not toxic to the dogs We use it a lot during spring thaw (which was last week in PA) be careful out there Flash floods can happen easily Doc Zoe Wynsum http://wynsumgsd.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
