My dogs are getting busy readying themselves. My poodle just cant seem to keep herself together. her legs are missing, she is missing one ear and oh my, what to do. I get the flu and then burn two of my fingers on peppermint herbal tea so I can keep them in their kennel. What is a person to do. They may not be packed and ready by the 1st, but a couple days extra to mail may be needed.
