Saturday Survey – Ooh, Baby It’s Hot Outside
I don’t know about where you are, but here in Northeastern Ohio, it’s been in the 90’s most of the week. Two of my dogs love the heat, and I have to beg them to come inside to cool off. The other refuses to go out at all. How are you managing your dog in the hot weather?

Good day, and good dog!
ASPCA Pet Safety Pack
If you had to call poison control for your dog, would you know the number off the top of your head? If there were a fire in your home, how would first responders know you have a pet? You can now solve both problems with the free Pet Safety Pack from the ASPCA.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Hot Pavement
Tomorrow I plan on turning on the A/C for the first time, so it’s time for a reminder about hot pavement. Remember, if you can’t comfortably walk on it barefoot, they can’t either.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Planning for Your Pets’ Future
Most of us who have minor children have a will or at least an oral understanding, specifying what will happen to the kids if we die prematurely. But what about your pets?

Another option is to tether your dog with a seatbelt. It keeps the dog out of your personal space and prevents ejections in case of a wreck. Continue reading Vehicle Safety
Low Income Pet Resource Center in Los Angeles
Desmond Tutu has been quoted as saying, “There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.”
Downtown Dog Rescue in Los Angeles has done just that, opening a Pet Resource Center in a low income area to address the reasons why the poor surrender their dogs to shelters at such a high rate. Continue reading Low Income Pet Resource Center in Los Angeles
Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Doggie Stalls
This is one of those ideas that you look at and say, “now why didn’t I think of that? I could be rich!”
According to DogSpot.com, they even come with a webcam so you can keep an eye on your dog while you shop. Why not ask your favorite retailers to get these outside their shops?
Great idea, even if it didn’t come from me!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
