I would like to share with you a dog-person well-being tip. When walking your dog in summer, choose cooler times like early morning or late evening to avoid heat stress and pavement burns. Pavement and asphalt can get dangerously hot, so protect your dog’s paws by avoiding these surfaces or using booties or paw balm as a barrier. Always bring water, a portable bottle and collapsible bowl are ideal. Offer a drink every 15 – 20 minutes, especially on hot or humid days. Dogs don’t cool down like humans, so staying hydrated is crucial for them. On very hot days, shorten the duration of your walks and rather do several shorter outings during the cooler hours. Be alert for signs of heatstroke: excessive panting, rapid heartbeat, weakness, vomiting, or collapse. If this happens, move your dog to a shaded or cool area, wet their body with cool, but not ice-cold water, and call your vet immediately for further instructions.
The following joke has that fun good mood style, so let’s enjoy it together. It’s called “Hotel Towels.”
Kenny is venting to Patrick:
“Dude, I really don’t like hotel bath towels.”
“Why?”
“They’re so thick that I can’t close my suitcase.”
“That explains why they give such bulky and puffy towels in the first place!”
!?
