Ticked and Tickled Thursday

Well momma is super ticked today. We will let her tell you why.

From the Momma: On last nights local news they featured a story about leaving children in hot cars and reported that this year so far 5 cases have been reported. In this day and age why on earth are these cases still happening. What I find even more disturbing is the fact that at no time in the segment did they mention the dangers of leaving pets in parked cars. It is something that happens more often than you would hope to think. Last year I counted 22 dogs in parked cars from the months of June through August and I live in a small city. I personally call the local animal control every time I see a dog left unattended in a hot parked car. 99% of the time they do nothing but it gets peoples attention that this not ok.

In addition to calling animal control I leave a flyer stating the facts on leaving a dog in a hot parked car. Please feel free to copy the text, put it in a word document, and print out your own flyers.

----Beggining of Flyer----
Summer is here and leaving your pet unattended in a parked car can be a deadly mistake!

The Facts:
* On a 75 degree day the temperature inside a parked car can reach 125 degrees in a matter of just 30 minutes.
* Cracking car windows will do little to reduce the heat inside of a parked car. Cracked windows provide no air circulation. It also gives people the chance to reach in and take a small dog.
* Once a dogs temperature reaches 105 degrees they can suffer from heat exhaustion and/or heat stroke in a matter of minutes. When this happens, many organs such as the kidney, liver, brain, and heart begin to shut down.
* Dogs with pug-like noses, seniors, dogs with long coats and young puppies are extremely susceptible to heat stroke or heat exhaustion.


Please take these facts into consideration before taking your dog with you and leaving them in your car on a hot summer day!

----End of Flyer----

Please never approach an owner with the flyer as this may lead to a confrontation. I have had my fair share of angry owners tell me to (not so nicely) to stay out of their business. Just slip it in a cracked window or under the windshield wiper.

Now I will return you to the paws of Mollie Jo and Bobo.
