So Carol, are you saying that when the weather is nice you should take your beautiful dog with you? But ugly dogs should stay home? 🙂

Leroy is a smart boy. I suspect your husband had a little talk with him. 🙂

When we had a car, my husband was very chivalrous. He’d open the car door for me and shut it after I sat down before going to the driver’s seat. Just in those few seconds it took him to walk to the driver’s side of the car was torture on a hot day, never mind if he stopped to say hello to a neighbor first. I always think of how those few seconds felt when I think of dogs in hot cars.

And we don’t even live in Florida.

Gizmo is lucky you seek out so many fun places where he’s allowed to go with you.

Oh Flea, songs become oldies about five minutes after they first come on the radio. 🙂

I’m sorry to say, however, that I know all the lyrics to both the songs you cited. Now I have two disgusting ear worms going around in my head. Curses, Dr. Demento. And curses to you too, Flea (but not really). 🙂

Actually, I most worry that Honey would find someone with hamburgers in his pocket and decide to follow him home instead of waiting for me. 🙂

I put a link on facebook to the laws regarding rescuing a dog in a hot car. In NY, police or humane officers can rescue a dog without fearing prosecution. Might be a good idea to program animal control into your phone this summer.

I think everyone should see that video. I’m pleased to say that quite a few people clicked through to see it at the end of the post.

I hope it was the people who most needed to see it.

I’ve tried to arrange my wardrobe around the color of my dog’s coat. It never works.

Black dog hair shows up on our clothing as grey, gold dog hair shows up as white. You’re right. We humans should just give up. Or go naked.
