My neighbors had a tragedy last week and i decided to say something to everyone my house has a clone across the street when the people bought the lot across the street they decided they loved our house so much they wear going to build one just like went down to the building department and got the blueprints the homes are identical in every detail. so this hits me very close to home
anyway we have this thing called a breezeway its a room with glass walls that open into slits its supposed to keep the house cool these are pictures of the room because i did not explain it well (please excuse the bags the kids are getting rid of toys and old clothes and what not and this is the dumping ground for all things in limbo for trash or donation)

well my neighbor left his chihuahua paco in this room (in his house) and went to the store for about an hour it was 85 degrees outside i know he left water out for the little guy because he loves him to death but when he got home he found Paco laying in his dog house nearly dead from the heat my 16 year old was walking our dogs when he got home and started yelling she brought our dogs home and went with him to the emergency vet because she knew wear it was and he was not sure
that was a week ago tomorrow and Paco was in the hospital for 5 days while he did live they are not sure if he has permanent brain damage from the heat
im sure some of you have breezeways and sun porches that you leave your babies on all the time just please be careful and make sure your dog is not to hot one way to roughly judge is to sit out wear you are leaving your dog for an hour wearing a long sleeved cotton shirt to see about how hot they are getting.
