That sounds like what my vet told me. What gets me frosted is that they use non-human subjects for experimentation. When it’s obvious that you can’t extrapolate from animals to humans, —oh, never mind. Even purely functional things like floating a Swan doesn’t account for the anatomical/structural differences. (I’m hijacking the thread. Please excuse. I’ll go have another cup of tea.)

Dogs are sprinters, not marathoners, or even half-marathoners.

Dogs can run great distances at a trot.

I stand corrected.

The AdminMod took out the part that said the owner arranged for the dog to be neutered after he escaped that last time, when he jumped into the race.

As I quietly and smilingly walk by with My copy of issue #103 of Sex to Sexty... *grin*

I might have committed suicide as well, if I were to awaken to the fact that someone I trusted had taken all reason to live away from me.

So, are you telling us that sex is your reason for living? That's a new one to me.

Maybe he had some other problem not directly related to his heart, but it stressed it. Anyway, I’m so sorry that the beautiful and delightful doggie passed away :(
