Listen. I love you. I couldn't be prouder to claim you as a relative. But something I heard tonight has tainted my admiration. You CANNOT put a dog into a hot tub! No way! I don't care how much you paid for "special filters" that catch the hair. And it in no way diminishes the cruelty of submerging poor Taylor in super-heated water when you boast of using Pet-Safe chlorine.
I'm sorry, but I'm emailing your local PETA chapter tonight. (Very active chapter in your neck of the woods, by the way. Who would have guessed Crested Butte had so many liberals.) Expect a visit by the weekend. And don't be too surprised if they enlist the help of the county Animal Cruelty investigator. I think you can count on a hefty fine, and personally, I think a little jail time might just do you some good.

Bwah ha ha ha ha! Just kiddin', bro! The VP came home and told me you were pulling your neighbor's leg about how your dog loves to take a dip in the hot tub. What kind of fool would buy that yarn? I mean, you'd have to be pretty gullible to think a dog would actually enjoy dipping his privates into 102 degree water.
Which neighbor was it? Do I know him?
Posted by Cathy at December 7, 2005 10:35 PMGiven that the body temperature of a healthy dog ranges from 101°F to 102.5°F, I'm not sure that Fido would object to "dipping his privates into 102 degree water." Considering how enthusiastic most male dogs are to dip their privates into . . .
Well, I'm sure you get the idea.
I just hope your brother-in-law really does have "special filters".
