I couldn't agree more!  One thing that all the dog lovers who insist on
subjecting their animals to overlook, aside from having their dogs sleep
outdoors, is the bright sun and heat which is almost unbearable for human
beings.  It was 90-95 degrees some days in May in Bellorado and other parts
of the Camino with no shade for long periods.  We looked forward for an
occasional tree that would give us a few moments of shade. Don't forget that
you also have to walk for stretches on hot asphalt and sharp gravel.  Don't
be selfish.  Leave your dogs at home.  Howard  (I have a dog too.)
