A quick post to share this poster from Petfinder.com (and where I recently found my dog, my first pet!):
A good reminder that public health also extends to our furry friends, as well. I try to walk my dog in the early morning (before noon) or after dinner when the sun is starting to lower in the horizon; if in doubt, I'll put my hand on the ground to test the warmth of the pavement to ensure safe paws. And keep them hydrated, as you do yourself! (If it's getting to be too hot outside, I'll rub/splash some water on his belly or feet as I believe those are the best 'cooling spots'...correct me if I'm wrong!)
And meet the newest member of our family unit, as of a few short weeks ago!
(And yes, she's gotten a bit of a hair trim since then...Eat/drink up, pup!)
What do you do to keep your furry family members safe in these sweltering times?
