Two more bullies die of heat. What a damn shame. Feel so sorry for the pet owners, and the poor bullies. What stupid people.
THE WOODLANDS, TexasâA family is considering legal action after two of their dogs died of heat exhaustion while staying at a boarding kennel near The Woodlands.
When Angie and Skip Waters were required to leave town due to an unexpected death in the family, the couple had to find a place for their four English Bulldogs to stay.
They decided to keep them at Precious Pets Grooming and Boarding near The Woodlands, a place that looked trustworthy by all indications.
But on June 29 the Waters got a phone call they never thought theyâd get.
"The owner of Precious Pets called and said my little dog had fainted and wouldnât wake up," said Angie Waters said.
Angie and Skip said the owner told them the dogs had been outside.
"I said, âthe dog didnât faint. Itâs 105 degrees in Houston today. Why are my dogs out?â" Angie remembers saying.
"I knew right then she was dead," said Skip.
The Waters said another one of their bulldogs had also died.
When KHOU 11 News paid a visit to the boarding kennel, the front gate was padlocked shut.
No calls placed to the kennel were returned.
Now, as she ponders legal action, Angie Waters canât help thinking about something else: What the final moments must have been like.
"How they suffered, because it was hot and humid," said Angie. "The dog was virtually cooked and not able to breathe. It had to be a horrible death."
A horrible death, she says, for a breed of dog especially susceptible to heat.

I hope they do sue the owner of that kennel!! 
I was not so nice to my poor hubby who ALWAYS tries to fix it first..to me that's wasting valuable time! The funny thing is my a/c guy knows how bad I am and panics right along with me! I think he worries for Daves safety!! I am going to follow up with what you said and get a bigger portable for home..just in case! I was very impressed with the smaller one we got for the mountains. Glad you are cooler inside and out!
