Texas is in the midst of a major drought right now. They’re saying the last time it was this bad was in the 50′s. The worst part, besides the death toll due to heat (I think they’ve said 9 or 10 in Dallas so far) is the way people don’t even consider their pet’s welfare. I can hear so many dogs barking mid-day in the heat. It will be 110 degrees outside and a few houses down there will be a dog barking for quite a while. I highly doubt that dog that’s outside for that long has some sort of air conditioned dog house, but maybe I’m wrong. It’s just devastating.. there is so much technology and availability of ways to care for you animals, from places like mange.net to pet stores, vets, etc, and if none of them can help you, take your poor pets to a no-kill shelter or rescue where someone else who CAN provide for them can adopt them. What’s the point of having a dog or cat who is simply outside all the time? They want your love and attention.. how much less can they ask for??
