[nagdu] Possible dog issue

Mon Jun 11 01:53:38 UTC 2012

No, she just started this, and she is heat intolerant as am I, but it
hasn't been too bad and I limit her work during the hottest parts of
the day anyway. I plan to call them tomorrow and we'll see what they
say, because it is very strange.

Thanks.
