Well I have some encouraging news. I did not see the dog on the line on my way to work this morning or on my way home. Maybe I have been overreacting a bit or maybe I am just paying more attention to the situation and it's not as bad as I thought but I still don't feel great about it. I still have seen it out in the hottest part of the day on that line. I know you can't leave them out long and I only let mine out for a few minutes when it is hot because he starts panting pretty quick and he wants to come in. I will continue to keep an eye on the situation and give some updates later. If anything maybe I can call animal control and get them to visit them and if anything maybe that will encourage them to keep the dog inside more on hot days.
As for the poster that joked about keeping my son on the corkscrew stake? He's 19 years old and that is really not a bad idea!
