When you say Winston - a Pittie was lost to heat exhaustion, you don't mean the rainbow bridge do you :sad:

Cindy

That is so sad

The first thing I thought of was I hoped some people had water for their dogs available at all times. You can see it's a hot day and the fact there are so many in that pool and others laying in the shade you can tell the heat was getting to some.

I can't believe how idiotic some people are. Those poor pups:sad:

[Winston]

Yes Chris that is correct ...to the Rainbow! The emergency services person was upset and you could tel she loved pits..stupid owner had an enclosed plastic mussle on the dog...so I am sure that contributed to it...

little one!

Stupid people shouldn't be allowed the responsibility of another life.

OMG - idiots. And at a place where most would be there celebrating their LOVE for their animals.
Water was everywhere, shade was hard to find though, and there were FREE emergency vets there too.

No excuses.

[Winston]

Kashi you said it right on! there was no need for it to happen really......what I was really pissed off about was the folks that were sitting in the patios with the shade for them and their dogs tide up to the fence for the patio baking in the sun! at one point I saw the fellas from the emergency services go over and hose a few of them down....general stupidity......I only heard about the one death and am hoping thats all it will be..the poor dog!

Even a great dane went down and had to be given oxygen...when he was reasonably okay the stupid owner wanted to finish looking at all the exhibits...but the emergency services called the police and they escorted him home...how stupid can you be? your dog collapses, is given oxygen and you want to continue walking him in the situation he is in? I am sorry those type of people shouldnt own pets or children.

Overall though some wonderful groups helped out and alot of vets gave their services...

Cindy

:sad: That poor pup!

Well the rest of the day looked like it was a lot of fun... those doggies in the fountain look like they are having a blast! So many many many cute fuzzy faces!!!

That's a grey area Kashi, Pitbulls can' be unmuzzled in a public place, but there are other types of muzzles that allow dogs to pant.

I realize that, Chris. But Winston mentioned that the poor pittie was in a fully enclosed plastic muzzle.

THAT was purely owner choice.

Now, not having a muzzle-required breed, I'm not up to speed on the different muzzles available, but I'm 100% positive that there were options available that would allow the dog to pant / drink. And that the owner could have made other choices about the dog before it lost it's life.

[marko]

Ok - 2 more for now...just random doogers

[marko]

This is supposed to be a picture thread of the FUN......please can we talk about the bad stuff somewhere else? - thx M

[Winston]

...My fault....

It really was a GREAT event...I didnt mean to put a damper on it!!!

[ancientgirl]

Awww, I love bulldogs. And that picture of Peaches and Peanut is so cute. That's so great Meg that you took Peaches too!

Don't know what to say Kashi, Marko put a muzzle on it

It's an important topic - it just belongs in its own thread, not in the middle of a picture thread.
Feel free to start it in the general forum, on topic forum etc. thx m

[Winston]

Sorry Marko!! I feel bad...dont ban me please?

Okay guys..lets move on....

[mastifflover]

Hey sorry we lost you guys at the rescue booths but we did wander around for a while till some dobie went after Clark, honest he did nothing but we got them under control quickly. Also it was so hot out that I decided at that point we better head home, as we know Clark has his issues and that did not help. But he loved the subway ride home getting attention from everyone. Don't worry he loves his new girlfriends and sends a millions slobbery kisses to Aslans household.
P.S. Sorry we did not find the GS rescue and Winston

[rainbow]

Great pics Marko but you didn't say who was in Group 3 and 4 or the last two pics.

[mastifflover]

The pics are great sorry forgot to mention it. I also was really glad to meet all of you. Grace, Clark misses you. Also thanks Meg for getting us in one place
