a very fragile animal and sadly those things happen to them. Especially when they are raced in the manner they are. It's one of those things in life I struggle with (although not often enough). Though horse racing is a fantastic sport, I see the point of not pushing them to the point they are jeopardized. There is also the issue of the treatment of jockeys which is not a pretty picture either.....

Anyway, I've always loved animals and never really had a dog in the house till about 4 years ago my wife made me get her and the kids a miniature schnauzer. She's about 12 pounds and, while she gets in everyone's way and under our feet, barks at the stupidest stuff, begs unmercifully for food, and on the occasion craps on the hardwood (only 2-3 times a year), I can't possibly think what'd happen without her. The whole house would be down for days. So....enjoy the time you got I guess with whom or whatever...........
