I cannot believe the level of emotions that this subject has generated. In
my limited experience in lines at vet checks, the problem just hasn't
presented itself proportionate to the intensity of response. But as I said
before, lines anywhere seem to bring out the best and the worst in people.
Kind of like driving in heavy traffic. It's your attitude that will get you
there in a sweaty huff or calm and relaxed (even if a bit late).

the hay)
