I am so glad to see this post.
I know that we, here on YT know all of this, but it doesn't hurt to remind everyone, and for the 'pass on'.
I hear stories every year of animals and children being killed in cars while someone goes into a store for 'just a minute'. Anyone with any common sence knows, by the time you check out many more minutes have passed!
I have auto start on my vehicle, and many people think they are safe with that. It's only 15 mn. and what if something happens meantime and the car stops running in 5? Dead animals, and children. OMG!!
Also, I think that the only place dogs sweat is through their paws.. I heard that somewhere many years ago. I take time to put a wet cold washcloth on my little ones paws and this helps keep them cooler.
I am here in ND and right now at nearly 2pm the heat index is 105* I just think of those poor animals that people keep outside in pens all the time. Poor mistreated animals that can't come in because of all those rediculous reasons... they're too dirty, too big, too roudy, etc!!! Those things make me CRAZY!!!!! OK I'm through ranting, opening my big mouth yet again!
