Thank-you for the comment, Friend!!
&q...Mom Kim....<br />Thank-you for the comment, Friend!!<br />"I still cannot believe the number of pet owners who take their dogs out for family picnics and cook-outs on July 4th or the poor dogs who are forced to spend the nite tied to a chain in the yard or in an outdoor kennel." I know, right?! We used to watch fireworks explode in the nighttime skies every Independence Day underneath a city bridge. They were beautiful!! But every year, I witnessed firsthand people with her terrified canines standing near that bridge!! It was wrong!! Then just yesterday, somebody at church told me that she taught her canine to "buck up" and took him outside with her while fireworks were set off!! Really?! The "America's Funniest Home Video" that you described is outrageous!! ;-/<br />Enjoy your July Fourth cookout!! With our neighbors shooting off bottle rockets--bombs!!--in east, west, north and south {Literally!!} there is absolutely no escape from the noise for poor Rose around here!! We usually just spend most of the night on our boy's bathroom floor together. And, aside from standing outside so that they can witness bottle rockets, my family never, ever, ever leaves the house!! ;)<br />Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005199691237610718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043009785231048167.post-49199700766160557762014-06-30T10:24:57.452-07:002014-06-30T10:24:57.452-07:00Mom Kim here - I still cannot believe the number o...Mom Kim here - I still cannot believe the number of pet owners who take their dogs out for family picnics and cook-outs on July 4th or the poor dogs who are forced to spend the nite tied to a chain in the yard or in an outdoor kennel. I once watched a video on America's Funniest Videos of a family at a cook-out - they had their little Doxie and somehow the poor thing had got a lit sparker stuck to him (the family probably did that). There was all kinds of laughter going on as that Doxie ran around and around trying to escape that lit sparkler. Needless to say I found AFV's Facebook page, and encouraged my followers to leave a "nice" little comment about the video and their airing of it on their Facebook wall - that was outright abuse and AFV was basically condoning it.<br /><br />Ok - I will get down off my soapbox now - it's one thing dressing a dog up for a holiday but actually subjecting them to such abuse - my biggest "pet" peeve (excuse the pun)<br /><br />I will be going to a family cook-out on the fourth - Shiloh'n Diva Shasta will be STAYING HOME, indoors with blinds and drapes shut with the TV on - Diva Shasta stays in her crate as well since she is the one most bothered by noise; even thunder turns her into a velcro dog who insists on being as close to me as possible.<br />Ok - bak to work now.<br />Mom KimThe Ladies of Beaglebratz Manorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04638795495731707051noreply@blogger.com
