| Look Up, Down and All Around Living in Florida and having Yorkies has made me turn into that Crazy Dog Lady who lives down the street. I was asked to give a 3 to 5 minuet talk about , how to keep your dog safe. It was supposed to be about Fl. basic problems like, heat stroke, dogs left in the car, outside wthout shade, enough water and getting hit by cars.
I told the teacher I could give a longer talk about not only thoes common things but, the danger of: Alligators, large dogs running lose, hawks, owls, coyotes, fire ants, wasps, bees, venomus snakes, heart worms, fleas, ticks, wood scorpions, snapping turtles, the salt water ocean, sharks, jelly fish, poison toads too. Just getting started, I said, Children need to know to watch for trash tossed by careless people, toys on the floor and why they should not share candy and other food with a puppy, how to hold a dog,..... The teacher held up her hand to stop me and asked, how much can you cover in 1/2 an hour ?
