Yeah, 105° is extreme. My boys have never went above 103°, thank heavens.
I hear ya on taking care of the kids (grin)! My Newfie is spoiled rotten. We fix him eggs for breakfast, he eats meats and veggie for dinner. He practically puts on his own bib when we eat. He gets the best vitamins I can find. Gave him grapefruit seed extract when he was exposed to kennel cough, and he never came down with it-and the dog who had the kennel cough was living with us at the time (he got treated with Grapefruit-Seed-Extract too). God didn't intend on us keeping dogs as pets if we're not going to treat them like we would any other family member! :P
