[nagdu] Introduction

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

We have a family member who got very injured while cooking. Her dog was lying behind her and she didn't realize it and tripped over him.
This was a pet dog.
My advise is to keep the dog out of the kitchen or be very aware of where he or she is. Tie-down helps you do this.
I'd not try to haul the dog around while cooking. You're setting up for spills, burns, all kinds of stuff that doesn't have to happen.

If you feel best keeping your dog on tie down when you are preparing your meals, you should. It isn't convenient to haul the dog around with you if you are preparing meals, assuming that that you are keeping the dog on a leash.

My bedroom isn't terribly close to the kitchen, and I make a good deal of my own meals.  Is it better when I'm eating by myself to keep my dog on tie-down? It's more convenient for me in a logistical stense as I need two hands to do a lot of things and he doesn't seem to mind.  Thoughts?

Oregon is significantly cooler than where I live in the summer and I don't want to overstress my dog.  The school gave me a set amount of water (3 cups) to offer Elvis at each watering.  Is giving more water ever advisable in this situation? Thanks!
