Maggiedog: Are you familiar with the "Best Friends Animal Sanctuary" at Angel Canyon in Utah? It is a beautiful, HUGE ranch/shelter not far from the Grand Canyon and is the largest no-kill animal shelter in the U.S. A truly wonderful place where homeless, abandoned, abused, and "unadoptable" critters of all kinds, including dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, goats (you name it) from all over the world are given a "sanctuary" where they may be adopted or live out their natural lives in peace and with incredible love, compassion and suport. They have no less than 1,800 animals under their care at anytime! Much of their staff is volunteer, and includes a large teaching veterinary hospital and ambulance service for the surrounding area. Many families take an "Animal Sanctuary" vacation, where they lodge or camp outside of the Grand Canyon and spend their days volunteering, observing and caring for the critters. They also have a great internship program for those pursuing careers in various animal related fields such as CVT, pet therapist, animal behaviorist, vet. students, and those who just love animals. Their site amd Forum/Message Board is awesome. In the "Health" forum message board Dr. Muns (resident staff vet) as well as CVT's will answer all/any questions on doggie health problems in great detail. No question goes unanswered. Dr. Muns also posts lengthy discussions on several commonly shared health problems monthly and past posts are retrievable through their search engine. I remember several discussions concerning the "Leaky Dog Syndrome" as described by Maggiedog (you are not alone!) and they were a great source of guidance and clarification. Check it out at www.bestfriends.com and click onto their "Health" forum site. There are several other message boards including Behavior and most wonderful is their "Prayers, Healing and Support." It is a wonderful site for those whose furkid is ill or has passed over to the Rainbow Bridge. They offer such incredible emotional support for as long as is needed during this terrible time. Every Monday there is a world-wide Candle Lighting and prayer ceremony for ailing critters and in memory of those who have passed. There is even a Pet Memorial Site where you can post a loving message and photo of your furbaby. Even Oprah has a posting in memory of one of her beloved cocker's. Many of you are probably already familiar with this organization. For those who aren't, check it out. I think you will find it a very touching and informitive site. Sandra
