Hi Mike,

>> he has had reactions to things like the Bordatella vaccine.. The pups

>> by anything hehe.. Good mutt stock I think Lol

> Yeah, like we tell the teenagers, it's the best time of Your life! 8)

hahahahaha you're not kidding :)

They are such a pair.. At least they've stopped eating the bedsprings LOL

>> I wonder if the reaction your pug had was more related to the breed,

The few pugs I've known (friends owned them) were like that as well.

Oh man.. no we didn't get that tale over here.. how sick is that.. :( :( You
figure the guy had to be in there a while.. geez!

How sad :( :(

Yeah especially these days.. but what can you do to keep him from such idiocy
again?  Put a dog collar on him maybe .. grrr..

That is the worst of it.. I'm sure she's really having a rough time with the
way they died.. I would have.. I mean it's so hard even when you see your pal
have to go to sleep the peaceful way.. nevermind suffering terribly. damn,
can't stand it.

Got it in today.. haven't put it on them yet.. figured first thing tomorrow..
was a crazy day today after it arrived late in the day..

I'm not expecting any problems, but I'll be able to watch Toby and keep him
calm if he has trouble. I have this stuff that calms dogs down..it's a
homeopathic thing.. my daughter uses it in it's "human" formula for her boys
Lol.. It does work, Priscilla used to finally relax when she'd get those
horrible larynx problems..

Take care,
Janis
