D&D Dogs has some experience with people copying more than just our idea. Just look at /120/12/4350/1.html

Anyway, bottom line is, this sort of thing is going to happen, and in some ways is a good thing. When this happened, we kind of felt like we had to innovate even more to be successful. So it was kind of a kick in the ass to do better marketing, development, and design.

That extra effort has lead us to become who we are now, and as far as I know, our "competitor" hasn't done much more than what he started with.

Competition is good. Blatant theft is obviously bad. But when it happens, you have to be on your toes to keep innovating and expanding. It's the only way to stay a step ahead.

In your case, Willow, since you do not do this as a for profit business, I can understand why you would be so angry. I'm just looking at it from a business perspective, and thought that my experience in this area would be of interest in this thread.

OK!!

Ty guys for your concern, I had already rang the DR and the Hospital and their advice was liquid paracetamol and fluids, her temp is now slowly going, down, she is more alert, and seems better, although a bit tired...

Sorry this should not have been bought into the forums... sorry guys :(
