this is a board that talks about issues concerning animals...your own pets as well as animal rights,alerts,bills before congress that need our attention.This is a family board but as abuse cases may be posted it may not always be for the sensitive readers.Please be kind to each other,thanks!
Mousetrap: I'm working on getting my current "shelter-doggie" (part beagle, part somekindasetter, part collie, maybe?) to swim...she'll go in creeks but if there's a fish, frog, or snake anywhere near her, she's right back out...she's been in the ocean twice, but I had to REALLY coax her to go in with me, and once a wave washed over her, she was again right back out
