Well I'm really glad I brought this topic up :D Not only have I given people ideas, I have some for my own dogs. I had an ICoE made up in case I couldn't ever bring Strauss in, but nothing for me in case I got hurt and was unable to take care of Strauss's daily needs. I know many of you had thought of who would care for your dogs in case you were incapacitated, but had no list of who was allowed to bring in your dog(s) for treatment in your absence. This has worked for everybody all around, and I'm glad this thread was able to bandy about so many ideas. - Jackie ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
