Taking your dog with you?

[liberated]

You leave your dog locked up in a car?

"On a warm, sunny day windows collect light, trapping heat inside the vehicle, and pushing the temperature inside to dangerous levels. On an 85-degree Fahrenheit day, for example, the temperature inside a car with the windows opened slightly can reach 102 degrees within ten minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120 degrees. At 110 degrees, pets are in danger of heatstroke. On hot and humid days, the temperature in a car parked in direct sunlight can rise more than 30 degrees per minute, and quickly become lethal."

"I hope that if someone with bad intentions walks by, they will have second thoughts "

Yeah, well, this person would have the thought that smashing your window to release a suffering dog and having you arrested for animal abuse; it would not even be my second thought, it would be my first thought. And action. And I would. And I hope someone does if you pull that stunt, missy.

Get a stinkin' gun if you need protection, or pepper spray.

As stated in my prior post, I do not take my dog with me on hot days. I only take her when the temp. is around 70-75 degrees at the most (also in the shade, not in the direct sunlight). If the weather is humid, I do leave the car running with the ac on (thank goodness for a remote for the locks). I also do not take her when I am measuring large houses, only small ones. I do not feel the need to defend myself as I know how I treat my dog....she is a member of my family. Baby loves to ride with the rear windows down and the wind blowing in her face.

I do agree that if a pet undergoes abuse, someone should help them and I would be among the first to do so. I hope that this clarifies my prior post for you.

Regards, Missy

I stand corrected, and I apologize to you for implying that you were not a good dog parent.

Animal abuse makes me insane with anger. Two weeks ago, here in Georgia, I called a small town sheriff to report two of the sweetest dogs in the history of the planet, locked in a car in a Target parking lot. The sheriff & deputy used a SlimJim to open the doors of the mini-van, and when they did, the rotten wastes of carbon that owned the vehicle and the dogs came lumbering out of the nicely airconditioned store they were in, to rail at the sheriff & his deputy. The deputy (who looked about 16 years old) told me that his boss was hoping they would start something because they were itching for the silver bracelets.

Thank you; however, there is no need to apologize. I probably should have added more clarity to my post. Animal abuse make me extremely angry as well. I can not count the number of times that I have brought a cat or dog home that has been neglected and thrown out; however, I can not describe the satisfaction after the animal is bathed, given shots, checked out by my vet and a loving home found for it.

People that abuse animals should be put under the prison, not in it.

Have a good day.

every time I can, I take him. makes me take breaks and to enjoy the neighborhood. nothing like gathering data by taking your dog for a walk in the neighborhood and striking up chats with the local busy bodies. by the way, he's a 130lb airedale that went nuclear on girth and height, only ate a back seat once when he was 7 months

Hi All.
I take a Parson Russell terriers formerly known as JRT to work everyday. He is the best traveling dog, not a hyper freak. He sits on the console of my car and stays balanced most of the time. He also likes coffee, which is a problem on cold mornings.

I am also a hobby-show breeder. This dog is an AKC Champion and several Champion kids and littermates.
They are not typically hyper nuts as some people have. They are working farm dogs that some have been misbreed like the pits and rotties.
Get a good / well bred PARSON russell terrier & it can be your best friend.
My other Parson did Search N Rescue until old age caught with him. I have sold some PRT's that titled in tracking / SAR and simply the best bed fellow one could ask for and tells no tails. He is only 3.
But do not touch my car, if I leave him in it and he does not know you. Grrrrrrrr !
He climbs in his backpack and goes almost everyway with me.

I do alot of vacant buildings and he is not dangerous, but is a noise maker, if something is there besides us.

I live with 8 of them. All I have to do is remind them who is boss occassionally. (pups).
I am not advertising, so please feel free to go to my Doggie website to read about how great they can be. www.miternfarm.com

Thanks.

Do you take your dog with you when going out on inspections?

Does that make your E&O premium more expensive if you take your dog?:icon_eyecrazy::icon_eyecrazy:

Before my dog died I didn't take her. Oh and it's kind of weird when people use "Dog Parent", very strange.

I actually found Lucky on an appraisal, in a bag with two other 4 week old puppies, however the other two were already dead. Some scummer had thrown them out in January's frigid cold in a trash bag near the entrance to a dump. She's ten now, part Pit and we think part Lab (she occupies our in-ground pool more than us two leggers), and is the alpha of our three, Buddy a Katrina survivor who's people surrendered him because they couldn't take him to their relocation, and most recently, Cassidy, who came from overcrowded ASPCA in Tenn. right after those 2008 tornados. I can't tell you the laughs and positive comments I get when people spy Lucky, always positioned sitting alertly in the driver's seat...."your chauffer?"...I tell them she's the Lawn Appraiser. While gentle as a lamb, she is very protective of the car when I'm away from it which helps out greatly in some of the urban high crime areas. Like others, I always leave the AC on in even questionable warm weather and a window cracked. The "pack" haven't made that many trips this summer because of the high cost of gas....too high to leave the car running. But they all love going and are extrememly well behaved. I have never had anything but positive remarks from clients. And I get lots of appreciative "kisses" each time I get back in the car...something that makes the job a lot more enjoyable.
