Chihuahua Yapping Newsletter - 08-01-09Hot Summer DaysMost people look forward to the warmer weather and before we know it we are faced with Hot Summer Days.Are you aware there is a danger that your dog will get sunburn, heat exhaustion or even heat stroke? The good news is that you can prevent these things from happening to your hot dog... read more Do you take your dogs with you everywhere? We do, and it hard to leave them home, but for their safety we do! Even if you just think you won't be gone long; how long is long to a dog sitting in a car on a hot summer day? Most states have laws that protect dogs from being left in a vehicle on a hot day (I think it's a shame we have to have laws for such common sense behavior). But sadly I have seen this happen too many times and I have no problem calling 911 and encourage all of you, my loyal readers to do the same! Going on Vacation?Are you planning a trip this summer and wondering if you should take your dog?My friend Sandra offers an excellent ebook... How To Take Your Small Dog Everywhere Please check it out it offers excellent information. A Man and His DogA man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, and that his faithful dog had been dead for many years. He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. As he reached the wall, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch, and the street that led to the gate made from pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?" "This is heaven, sir," the man answered. "Wow! Would you happen to have some water? We have traveled far," the man said. "Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up." The man gestured, and the gate began to open. "Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the traveler asked. "I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets." The man thought a moment, remembering all the years this dog remained loyal to him and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going. After another long walk he came to a plain dirt road, which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book. "Excuse me!" he called to the reader. "Do you have any water? We have traveled far." "Yes, sure, there's a faucet over there." The man pointed to a place that couldn't be seen from outside the gate. "Come on in and help yourself." "How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to his dog. "There should be a bowl by the faucet; he is welcome to share." They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned faucet with a bowl beside it. The traveler filled the bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree waiting for them. "What do you call this place?" the traveler asked. "This is heaven," was the answer. "Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said that was heaven, too." "Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell." "Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?" "No. We're just happy that they screen out the folks who'd leave their best friends behind in exchange for material things." **************************** This was sent to me in an email from my friends at Planet Urine Give their site a visit they provide a lot of info on house training and great products to clean those OOPS!!
