Never Leave A Pet In The Car...Seriously

It amazes me….every year there are pets left in cars during the summer. This kills hundreds of pets every year!!! Just this past weekend Jerry and I passed a dog in a car when the heat was at 86 degrees. We did not stop knowing we would pass back by in a few minutes and thankfully the dog and car were gone. Had the car still been there….I won’t lie…there would have been a scene. I can’t stand how people can say they love animals, especially their pets, and then they leave them in the car, in the hot weather.

So please, PLEASE, do not leave your pet in the car. This is especially true in the summer. While I admit I let Buck hang out in the truck once, the truck was running with him locked inside (I took the other key with me) and the A/C was on. I parked the truck so I could see him, and I ran inside Starbucks to get him fresh water and maybe (probably) half of a bagel for being such a good boy at the Veterinarian. It’s the people who park their car and think a cracked window will be okay for 20-30 minutes. The heat in the summer can be atrocious. I know because when Jerry turns the car off to pump gas, I find myself opening the car door sometimes because I can’t stand the heat.

I can’t imagine how I would feel with fur.

Happy Trails & Tails,
