Hazelnut although I was not a participant in the thread I had been reading the posts throughout as I do most of the forum discussions. Although I did not weigh in on the topic of whether dogs should swim at the the ramp. (I haven't had a dog in years and do not use the Alton ramp) I did weigh in on the assertion put forth by some participants that LilacHill had started the thread with the express purpose of advertising her business.
I didn't direct my comments to anyone in particular
but as they say 'me thinks you doth protest too much"
