Happy Summer!

WOOFS! MEOWS! BARKS! Happy FIRST day of Summer! 

Summer brings the hottest weather of the year. It is our human's favorite time of the year! Barkingly, it is the time of year when he has to be pawsitively wise and alert as to how the temperatures can and do affect pets, especially dogs. 

Samson, our wise and ever-knowing cat brother, doesn't go outside. Won't go outside. And, definitely never ever goes for walks or pawlays fetch in the backyard- ever. As Samson likes to say, walks and pawlaying fetch are well beneath his dignity. 

Barks, during the summer months and hotter weather, Dad pawlans our walks earlier in the day, or later in the evening, when it isn't as hot. Pawingly, our road trips are limited to days with less humidity, not quite as hot, and definitely not on those "Air-Quality High Alert Days." Don't be the shirtless athletic guy who runs with his dog during the high hot temperatures in mid-day. It's dangerous for the dog, oh, and human too. Woof.

Woofs, the one adventure that will stop for the summer months, is leaving me or Abby in the car while Dad quickly goes inside a store for something. Paws, he rarely goes shopping and leaves us in the car to start with. Instead, of taking us with him in hot weather, he will leave us home. Woofs. I will miss those trips to the garden center. Bark. 

Happy Summer! Remember to take care of your pets in summer's heat!
