I have been to Jean's and I WANT TO BE HER NEXT DOG!! They do get the very best of TLC, Emilie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean Mccann" <jeanniemccann@xxxxxxxxx> To: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, July 04, 2006 5:42 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: if it's not good for you............... My dogs,also,have large, roomy, covered runs that are located where there is the best breeze and under loads of shade trees,but when it gets really hot,I arrange for them to be brought in for a few hours during the worst heat of the day. Also,a complete water change mid-way through the day,so that it's always cool. When I get home,they come inside for good. I am more cognizant of the care they get,than of my own. Mainly,because they are like children and depend on us to look out for them. It's hard fo me to fathom anyone watching a pet lying there in distress,and not having the sense,or the caring, to get veterinary care ASAP!!!!! My dogs are well cared- for and well-loved,but it tears me up when I hear of the many cases(too many) where they are a mere second,third,or "seldom" thought. They are at our "mercy" and if we don't HAVE any,we have no business having them. Jean ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
