Great stuff...
Dogs are great, it's such a shame that so many people treat them as if they are flies whose wings are to be pulled off, they are fantastic companions - our two genuinely brighten our lives, and I can't imagine we will ever be dogless.
On a related note, for those who find it difficult to cope with them in the summer months I can highly recommend My Second Home Dubai, which has opened recently in DIP. We've started going there recently, huge indoor warehouse with astroturf, a pool, and a huge, huge fan to cool things down. have a Google, it's a brilliant idea...and the owners are a nice bunch who met walking their dogs at the lakes up Falcon City. Very jealous, I wish I'd have done it...
