...but the damn thing is deathly afraid of being in the car. When put in, she
immediately begins over-salivating to the point where the saliva is coming out
as long streams. If we go for a very short ride, she will simply sit and drool.
We recently went to Stafford, about a twenty-five minute trip. She threw up
three times.

get her some benadryl antihistamines. for a 55 lb dog like i have we
give him 1 about an hour before we set out. *it has the same effect on
dogs it has on you...it makes you drowzy and calms you down.

this was recommended by a vet friend of mine and it seems to work
pretty well, rather than giving tranquilizers.

Took our young Golden Retriever sailing. *He was great at first
barking at dolphins. *Then it got a bit choppy. *Believe me, there is
nothing sadder or messier than a seasick dog.
The Catahula went sailing with us one day, again, it got choppy and
she was miserable looking so sad I had to bring her in. *Once on leash
ashore, she was truly happy. *However whenever we approached the dock
where the boat was she pulled like hell to get away from that evil
boat.
Took the retriever canoeing. *No way he was gonna get in that boat. *I
finally had to lift him in. *He did not like it.
Years ago when I was a kid, our dog always went canoeing with us and
loved it. *She'd swim behind the boat and run along the banks. *These
days, too many gators, she'd be eaten in a heartbeat.

The way you *describe your dog pulling like hell to get away from the evil boat
is exactly the way mine acts around cars. Although, she is getting a bit better.
She'll now jump into the back seat, after thinking about it a few minutes, if I
put her dog food there. I'm thinking something very bad must have happened to
her in the car.

John, maybe the dog just doesn't like riding in a car. Of course, you
could probably take it to a pet psyciatrist and spend thousands of
dollars to find the same results too. There's people who do that,
y'know....


Hey man, a few thousan is no problem. You got a web site?

BTW, it's not my spelling. The letter before 'e' on my keyboar quit working.

amn! Now I'll have to buy a new one. Wal-Mart, here I come!


Wal-mart!? shock. Can't JPS find you one that that was made by well paid
union workers, oh, and they have to be happy union workers, in a country where
the money is needed more than here, oh, and they.... maybe germapanexico?

Scotty


Hey, if the guy who leaves his Wal-Mart stickers on his computer calls me the
'WalMart Hippie', I might as well live up to the name. This new keyboard was all
of $19.95, for a Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000. For what more could a person ask?

D-d-d-d-amn. It works.
