OK, I live in the Phoenix area and you can actually cook an egg, maybe even breakfast, on the pavement. The other day I was driving by a Petsmart and here was this un-aware dog owner walking his chocolate lab across the parking lot and then stood in the sun on the sidewalk. This was at 1pm. That poor dog was doing the jig, so to speak. He couldnt lift his burning feet fast enough off the sidewalk. I yelled at the person that his dog was on fire and to get him into the shade.
I really think that Petsmart should post a big sign outside the store stating that walking pets across the pavement in the summer in Phoenix,AZ is cruelty to animals.
I would love to make that person take his shoes off and walk slowly across the pavement. Just unbelievable.
