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!

The letter before "E" on your typical keyboard is "W"

There he goes, off to buy some cheap **** manufactured in China.


Did you receive such condemnation when you searched for Socialist-
made German screwdrivers to aid the assembly of Communist Chinese
components in your computers ?

Probably. My new Microsoft keyboard, purchased from WalMart, was, in
fact, make
in China. I suppose if I'd gone to a union shop the same keyboard
would be made
here.

Learn something new daily!
..

If you hate America, you shop at wal-mart.

I have two American-built cars so I agree with you. There are some
things you can't but here that are made here. Do you really think there
is still a US manufacturer of keyboards?
