just wasnt meant to be.

in his defence , tom aint from texas , but him and his family have had dogs since the days of daniel boone , as has mine . i'll garauntee you that the dog didnt die from neglect ! could have been something wrong with the dog ...or i had a dog chain one time in a place that was shaded all but one hour a day . got home one day and that dog was hot , got him in the shade and put his legs in cold water and puored alchohol on him . took a good while to get him cooled out , if i had been a few minutes later it might have been a different story . i've seen it almost happen another time or 2 in this humidity . it dont make since but i can see how it can happen , just like working , you'll be allright till all of a sudden and then get too hot in a hurry and can't cool out fast enough to reverse it .
