What an opportunity Building pet carts with 6 Ft handles and wifi actuated feeding stations

Remember the post with the picture of the full garbage can near the Picnic Area across from Paradise Dog Park near Lake Paradise and all the heat that was thrown about this that or the other thing. Until this is over keep Rover on your very Own Property for Bathroom Purposes. Don't put the Community at risk.

I love most Dog's with all my heart. Some Dog Owners are not that bright. Now it's an issue about keeping not only other human's but also YOUR DOG SAFE. Let's see if things change for the better.

I ran this by Mikey. (our cat) and he said, that's fine with me Karen, but you had better pet me when I'm in the mood.

My name is GRACE!

......... what you neglected to mention was that the family of four the pooch belongs to (one a Doctor and another a nurse) ALL had the virus and GAVE IT TO the DOG. So much for scaring the Dickens out of a bunch of pet owners. I am sure that was not your intent just as I am sure it was really unhappy news for all who share their lives with pets.

I didn't forget to mention it since it was covered in the article I POSTED A LINK TO

I social distanced my dog in bed last night by pushing his snout off me . To the CDC....give me a break

I love animals, but people not as much. If you allow your dog to mess on anyone else's lawn, then it is YOUR fault if it catches the virus, not the yard owner. Maybe some of you might think about that regarding other diseases also. If you really care for your pets as much as you all claim, then you should be more prudent in keeping them disease free. Or, maybe I just care more about my pets than others?

That won’t happen!

Thank you. Do you think Walmart will stop allowing pets in their store? I was there yesterday, not only did I see obvious pets, not service animals, but they were sitting in the cart. Love dogs, but yuck...

TOTV commentors in general: I only listen to Doctors

CDC: Your dog or cat can catch Covid freaking 19

Commenters: It's a different virus

CDC: No, we said Covid freaking 19

Commenters: My Fluffy is invulnerable, I am not listening to Doctors

People unable to control their pet, for its own safety and the safety of others, probably should not have them. ( That last line is simply mho. Before I am labeled a dog hater , I have had 8 dogs in my life and loved and cared for them and kept them under control. I believe any responsible owner can do the same. )

According to the Bronx Zoo, the test used on animals is different than human ones:

The coronavirus test administered to the Bronx Zoo tiger that tested positive for the illness is different from ones given to humans, according to the zoo’s chief veterinarian.

“The COVID-19 testing that was performed on our Malayan tiger Nadia was performed in a veterinary school laboratory and is not the same test as is used for people,” Dr. Paul Calle said in a statement tweeted Sunday night.

“You cannot send human samples to the veterinary laboratory, and you cannot send animal tests to the human laboratories, so there is no competition for testing between these very different situations.”
