I feel so blessed to be in California, even though we have to deal with other situations, the weather here is bear-able....thank you so much for the owners who love their pets so much to make sure they are cool because they can't talk, they can't tell you they are hot....you just have to read their gestures....do take care of yourself first and then pets....i want to cry....tears of joy, only in America that we care so much about everybody and everything, we should get the nobel price of humanity....America....that's where everyone wants to be because we have the best compassion in all sorts of situations....Diversity....Human Rights....Animal Rights....I am blessed to be an American and will do my part to help this country be the leader of Humanity.

The kiddie pool is a great idea and very thoughtful but I think the German Shepherd's pool water needs changed.
