Leaving Dogs Unattended

Monday, November 16th, 2009

To friends, colleagues, employees of Pet Partners and others,

I receive a lot of e mail from people of all walks of life as I am sure you do also being in the business of caring for family pets.  The health and safety of the family pet is our greatest concern and so it was interesting to receive the following warning from my sister who is a retired school teacher.  As we all look at this warning I am sure you will find humor and concern as I did.  ENJOY!!

Please read!!!

If you are an owner of a  dog and you also have a child or a visiting small child please take this as a warning.
Don’t leave your dog with a small child unattended under any circumstances!!!
Only one little moment was enough for the following to happen..
