Some tips for enjoying the Memorial Day weekend with your dog.
Memorial Day weekend sort of officially kicks off summer and, for many, it's a time of swimming, boating, and picnicking. for the whole family, including the family dog. Taking the dog just makes it more fun. And Max certainly enjoys the outdoors and just being a part of family celebrations. Dogs love splashing in the water, riding in the boat with the wind in their face and getting a few bites of human food at the picnic. He can even enjoy the extra attention that a doggy summer wardrobe of surfer shorts and sunglasses will win him. But more importantly, he needs to be kept safe from harm. Along with his aloha shirt, you need to pack his doggy life jacket too. Even if he can swim, accidents do happen. And since Memorial Day weekend is notoriously hot, someone needs to make sure he stays cool and drinks fresh water often. Dogs do not tolerate heat as well as humans. And remember, no chocolate or bones for the dog. Have a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend!
