<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Becca</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I read your post about the American Greetings card
and I understand why you got disturbed and I agree with you that no dogs should
live outside. When the snow is falling outside every dog (and cat) should be
inside, cozy on his/her bed, on the couch or on a mat by the
fireplace</FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial>. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Now, it is usually used, of course for fun in
cartoons, the idea of a dog covered with snow, the first time I saw one was
Snoopy, lying down on his house and completely covered with snow.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>In my innocence of a kid, I found it funny and
that's all, but who knows, a disturbed mind (like the boy/monster) who put a cat
in a microwave to see what happened, may decide to leave his dog outside to
check if the snow piles up on him...who knows. In the world we live, the
(mental) diseases of humanity keep leading us to become psychos concerning our
animals and kids.</FONT></DIV>

out for "business" when it is snowing hard.</FONT></DIV>
