Why would you bathe two kids together during these days of H1N1 and who knows what other God-awful microbes? Ugh. I am skeeved out at the thought of it. Also, in the kitchen sink, where you wash food? Please tell me you didn’t use the kitchen sink?

And I’m not sure why that one sentence starts out with, “Because as bad as it might sound….” It ricochets the tone of the entire essay into the whine zone.

I DONT UNDERSTAND Y U HAV2 LOCK THE DOG UP IN A CRATE. AS A VET, I’VE DONE SEVERAL SURGERIES ON ANIMALS, B/C THEIR OWNERS KEEP THEM LOCKED UP. NOT TO MENTION, IT CAN LEAD TO HYPERACTIVITY, MISCHEVIOUS/UNRULY BEHAVIOR, AND ANXIETY PROBLEMS. NOT ALL DOGS, BUT THERE ARE MANY. BETTER TO KEEP THE CRATE DOOR OPEN, AND ATTACH HIM & HIS LEASH ONTO THE CRATE OR SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO IT. LEAVE A DOG PAD ON 1 SIDE OF THE CRATE IF U NEED TO.
