<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We were in Florida when we treated our lawn by
Chemlawn. If you have a company that treats by using natural products that is
great.I was assured that when the chemicals dried it was safe for my dogs to be
on the lawn but you know it rains alot in Florida,just short cloud bursts,but
enough to make the grass wet all over again. This company promised it was using
safe chemicals I made sure I asked about it because I had a bitch of breeding
age that I was considering breeding and I didn't want her to end up infertile.
What I didn't know at that time is that 6 months after we left Florida my show
male at age 3years would be diagnosed with advanced lymphosarcoma, Bubba
lived seven months longer, then 10 months later Grace was diagnosed with
lymphoma ,maybe the chemicals ,maybe not,she was 8 years old. In PA the kennel I
boarded my dogs at was having many clients losing young dogs to cancer all
with one thing in common their yards were being treated by chemical
companies. Now, maybe it was a fluke,maybe just bad luck, I'm glad all your
dogs have had nice long lives but I did not expect to lose a beautiful young
show dog to something so insipid and preventable. Even though I don't have proof
that the chemicals caused Bubba's cancer I am still convinced. I treat my
own lawn now with natural products,dish soap,ammonia,etc. for fleas and ticks
and I have nice green grass and I don't have to wait till it dries
because it is safe,without a doubt. Vickie </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
