| Dog left in car!!! I was so mad today... My daughter was shipped off by ambulance with an asthma attack... The school nurse didn't want to call 911!!! Any way that horrible story is on Off Topic Discussions if you care to read it. After we get out of the hospital we stop at a coffee shop to get a drink. There is this dark red van with a small dog in it barking like crazy next to my car. No one in the car, and it was very warm today. We had teh windows down because we were hot! The windows in this van are down about an inch. (I know this dog was hot becasue we were very warm in my car) i go in the coffee shop thinking some one is buyng coffee and then they will go back to their dog. Well no one is buying coffee, but a few people are sitting having coffee at tables. I say somthing to the girl behind the counter and she points to the owner of the dog. An older man reading the news paper!!! I walk over to the guy and say " excuse me sir but your dog is in your car...And it is very very warm out side. I just wanted you to know your dog is probably too hot out here." He looks at me and says I'm not worried, I have been doiing this for 6 years!!!!! He is mad I am sticking my nose where it doesn't belong... SOOOOO I call the police, and the police say well he can see his dog, and the windows are down so we are not going to do nything bout it!!!! The cop sounded mad that I bothered to call!!!! What a very bad day it was~~~~~~~~~~~I need a hug!

| I'm doing well! Thanks for thinking of me. I find out the sex of the baby tomorrow at 2:30p central time. BUT before that I go and get a much needed hair cut and body salt scrub at my favorite spa. *yes* God I can't wait for both! I've been so stressed the last few days. I told my mom I think I'm going to have an ulcer before the baby is born! |

| That man should be held in a hot room and see how he fares .... and as for the police ... Screw them.. they obviously do not want to write a summons for that ... but if the car was double parked... they'd be right on it ... you did the right thing. and as a schoolteacher, the nurse had no right to send your daughter to the hospital w/o notifying you first ... the hospital cannot do anything if your child is under 18. If she was a known asthmatic the nuirse should have had her inhaler in a plastic bag in her desk with your child's name on it ... I had a kid in my class who suffered an epilepsy attack in class and we could only wait until it was over, make him comfortable, until the mom came to school. It was horrifying .....

Thanks for the concern, but I talked to the nurse and TOLD her to send my daughter to the hospital if it was bad... I live a half hour from the school and I knew waiting could be a probelm... I also called administration and told them the same thing!!! They had my permission. I also worked at the same school for two years and there was a time they called 911 in an emergency so I know they could have done something...!!!

| My seven year old daughter passed out at school a few weeks ago and they called 911 and had her rushed to the hospital and called us to notify us while the ambulance was in route. If the parents have signed a form stating that the school can seek proper medical treatment for the kids then they can send the kids to the hospital PRIOR to notifying the parents. That is why they make parents fill out those medical release forms. We even put what hospital we want our kids taken to.

| I've noticed that a lot of people aren't too upset about the dog being left in the car. This is probably because it's November - and what might be warm in November - doesn't match what the summer months can bring. Hopefully - the dog didn't really find it too hot. Dogs are funny - my Bichon with his double - totally thick fur coat like a sheep - likes to sleep in the bathroom near the heating register - the very hottest place in the house. And then - he'll go out in the freezing cold and not want to come in. Carol Jean |

| Just can't believe how ignorant people are, leaving their dogs in the car. Anything can happen besides the pup suffocating in the car, you could get your window smashed and your pup taken away or people might throw food in the car and make your pup sick? Just don't understand the mentality.

| I sometimes think that the police think that is a waste of their time to deal with animals in cars........ but they are wrong. I once had the same thing happen to me. I called the cops and they said that the guy was checking on his dog and that there was no harm in leaving it in the vehicle. WELL.. then I called the humane society/animal welfare and they came with their own special officer (apparently one that believed that animals should be treated with respect.. unlike the other cop). YAHOO!!! The guy was made to take the dog out of the car and they gave the dog water..... then he was told to take the dog home. |
