Crate manufacturers design crates to PROMOTE air flow. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />If it was "airtight" - Seamus couldn't have survived 12 hours inside of it. Also, if it was "airtight", I would assume that the body fluids wouldn't leak out of it either. So that wind must have been blowing all over Seamus and pushed the fluids right out of the crate as Romney drove on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-45965966913088228942012-01-13T15:54:00.780-09:002012-01-13T15:54:00.780-09:00Anonymous @ 8:29 pm said...

I'm wondering if the dog outlived his usefulness, got annoying or whatever and was sent to the sister when they got tired of him or didn't want to bother with him anymore. <br /><br />Now what beloved family pet would be given away (even to family member who lives states away) for any reason? Most people keep their beloved dogs even when they get old and sick. They do everything for them. But Seamus? Nope. He got inconvenient and was sent away. Lucky the sister took him in. I have no doubt if no place could be found, Romney would have simply taken him to the vet and paid to have him put down. <br /><br />And *THAT* is my problem with Romney's character. It is a character flaw that is undefendable. <br /><br />It's obvious he's brought his son's up the same way, since they seem to think Seamus' treatment was funny rather than abusive. <br /><br />No, I certainly don't want this man in the Oval Office.mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-58974190249386334452012-01-13T07:56:43.162-09:002012-01-13T07:56:43.162-09:00"Seamus was used to the crate."
