Good evening, Randy

Must be you don't get enough of my bloviating over at SMF

Actually, you seem to understand pet ownership better than many pet owners. Simply put, consider what is best for the animal. You're right: why would a dog want to sit in a hot car all day?

I'm a rottweiler guy: I had one for nine years before he passed and my mother has one now. My old house had 7 acres of land, much of it fenced for him to run about. My new house sits on about 3/4 of an acre. As much as I'd love another rottie, I don't have the space for one or the time to exercise him elsewhere. So, I don't have a rottie: wouldn't be fair to the dog.

Cheers,
Robert
