Just came home from my son’s baseball tournament, and I was appalled at the number of people who brought their dogs. It’s 88 degrees outside with a heat index of 99. We were trying to keep the kids under umbrellas when they were off the field, and pumping them with water at every chance.
I have a question for those of you who brought your precious pooches: Does your dog enjoy baseball THAT much that he or she had to come to the tourney? There is no flipping way I would subject my dogs to that kind of heat for no real reason. Unbelievable!
With no end in sight to the heat wave gripping much of the country, I wanted to dedicate today’s post to helping you help your dog survive the summer heat.
While we were away last weekend, Maggie had another seizure. Scared our young pet sitter out of her mind. We were able to calm her down by phone, and Maggie fortunately made it through the weekend without further incident. However, it brought up the question of what to do when you travel to make sure your pet’s care is handled the way you would want.
Tina Marconi, over at VetTech.org just sent me a link to one of her articles that I thought might be of interest to you. She has compiled a list of 25 different resources and tips you can use to take care of your dog’s teeth at home.
I’m sitting here looking at my beautiful Cooper’s face and lamenting the fact that he has two scars on his face from wrestling with the other dogs in our house. Got me wondering if your dogs have any scars?

Thanks so much for all of your prayers for Maggie. She’s home now, on antibiotics and anti-seizure meds. So far, so good. The tests never did show anything terribly out of whack, but we go back next Thursday (the 21st) for a check-up. For now, she just seems a little mopey, but then she is 10 years old, so I guess it’s okay if she’s slowing down a little.
