I did the same thing and had no idea anyone would refuse to care for a dog just because she was in heat. That is absurd but then, nowadays it takes all kinds I guess. Actually the strong smell Vicks or what ever about the nose sounds most interesting. Seriously, this list is so fabulous about EVERYTHING in L I F E!! I'm totally honored to be a part of this splendid family. It's wonderful to see family stuff, and stories of other kinds of activities you folks are involved in - if you want to be or not, it's interesting and I'm so glad to see it all and SHARE!! Have a good one folks. My Grandson graduated from high school Friday and my Vet Tech Granddaughter is visiting from Colo. and they're all on a trip to the beach. So I am taking care of my 4 legged Grandkids!! So, I'm Ok. However, I'd rather be at a dog show --- of course --- Norma no L ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doris E" <irrenhaus4@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <myjoygs@xxxxxxx>; "showlist" <Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 4:24 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Help!

One of the reasons for a boarding kennel is to solve problems. As a former boarding kennel owner, we had a separate section for the ladies when they were in heat. We also bathed and groomed them before sending them home again. Doris E* ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
