HEAT WAVE!!!!

Well for all of us who were complaining about the rain; nanner, nanner!

IT IS HOT!

Here is a link to the Weather Network; please check the weather and plan appropriately!

HOT DAYS + DOGS IN CARS = DEAD DOGS

Please, please, check out our links to Dog Boarding and Doggy Daycare Facilities; and if you are visiting the Niagara Region and day-tripping -- put your pet somewhere safe.
Everyone thinks; I'll only be in for a minute, Fluffy will be fine for a minute. What happens if;

• one of the kids has to go to the bathroom . . . really bad; and it took you 5 minutes to actually get to the facilities; never mind how long they are on the pot.
• you end up in a horrendous line and 3 out of 7 people need PRICE CHECKS!
• the product you really, really need is in the back; and you have to hunt down a stock clerk and they have to hunt down the product
• your best friend that moved away spots you in the store and just has to have a 10-15-20 minute chat with you

So many things come up to eat up our time; we need to keep in mind that a dog in a hot car; simply doesn't have time.

Please, please be careful out there; there are always options to taking your pet with you. If you are travelling with your pets and you must stop somewhere to use the facilities; alternate; have one person stay with the vehicle (either a/c running or window/doors open) or wait for a facility that allows pets, or for eating; use the drive-through. 

Do you know the quality of the water your dog is swimming in? Here is a link to the beaches that are closed/not safe for swimming in the Niagara Region; mainly due to e coli.; you may want to restrict your pet's drinking of the water.
