Court House - Be sure to place plenty of clean, cool water outside for birds and pets. Pets should remain inside in the air conditioning whenever possible. Plenty of shade should be available for animals who spend any time outside, including horses and bunnies. Even an old tarp can produce comfortable shade. Do not leave children or pets in cars. Windows open do not provide safety. Within 10 minutes, the car can heat up to over 100 degrees, which is life threatening. Walk dogs early and late. If the pavement is hot for bare feet, it is too hot for paws. Take water on walks and share often.
