An interesting fact that I just saw a vet giving on TV this morning that if your dog has respiratory failure and the the back legs go it you only have 6 hours to save that dog by getting it to a vet...just something to remember for the good of your much loved dog.

That is really a good piece of imformation to store away since I am almost sure that we all do have dogs of some breed or another.. You are right about us having "much loved dogs", they are like babies to us and we do have the responsibility to make sure they are taken care of the best way that we can.. Thanks for the info..

Thanks, lilaclady. This is very good to know. I shall store it in my in-case-something-happens-to-my-little-doggie-god-forbid brain.
