After reading Melissa's story about Jude I decided not to take Louis to the 'Pet Show' on the base here in The Netherlands. Being a beautiful BMD he would have won anyway!!! :) I've been walking him in some very dense woods early in the morning and then again at about 10.30 at night when it begins to get dark. I told my husband about Melissa's story and now he thinks I should be cutting his walks down even more, just in case. It rarely gets beyond the nineties here and we certainly don't have the humidity somewhere like Florida has. What scares me is that Jude was coping one minute and then in severe distress the next. Louis does get very hot ..... should I not be walking him at all??? I took my girls and we went to the Pet Show. It was a small affair but the prizes were considerable. A Newfie called Atlas won. His prize was a kennel but they didn't have one big enough! There were three 8 week old Boxer puppies roaming around .... recently sold by the woman who runs the bookstore. Her dog had accidentally got pregnant again .... by her own male dog! I thought puppies were supposed to stay away from other dogs until such time they were old enough to have had all their shots! The base's vet was there handing out flyers to encourage people to vaccinate their dogs. (Atlas's owner)! It's very hard to mind your own business .......! Rhona and Louis The Netherlands
