Is your dog’s health at risk? Read my surprising NYT story. If you own a dog, please check out this good advice from Kaitlyn Kelly. In this heat (it’s 40C today where I live) our canine pals need some special care. 🙂

Our current temp at the airport is 38C which means it’s at least 40 in town. I did a temp check on the concrete on our deck last week and it was 56.6C. People don’t realize what the temp is for their poor dogs feet on pavement or concrete.

  So true. Our Rudy had some problems a couple of months ago but recovered well. We definitely forget about their poor feet!

I enjoyed your article. This year the UK has been coldest on record for summer, but it suits Jack the dog and I

  Thanks – it’s Kaitlyn Kelly’s article. 🙂 It’s been so hot here and there’s been a drought, as well. A couple of days ago my city issued a heat warning – going outside was like entering a blast furnace! 40C. Our Rudy had some problems a while back with the heat but he’s okay now.

      I’m much more comfortable with 25C, or around that. I’m very thankful for air conditioning and cold showers!

Hello. My comment has nothing to do with dogs. I thought of you this morning as I read this article, Divorcing a Narcissist, in today’s New York Times.

  Thank you very much. 🙂
  
  My divorce was also very contentious, and he did try to draw it out and make it as expensive as he could. I saw what was happening and decided to buy him off. He couldn’t help himself (I knew he wouldn’t be able to) and he agreed to a divorce and signed off on it quickly. Months of haranging (and a death threat) followed, though. Thankfully, there were no children involved. I don’t even want to imagine what that’s like.
