Some tips to help you keep your dog healthy and happy during those hot days of summer..
I just got back from a glorious vacation on the Kemah Boardwalk. The salty air, the laughing gulls, the bright sun and gentle waves do wonders for relaxing the spirit. We rode speedboats, fed stingrays, ate in some great restaurants, watched a fire juggler and a boat parade, enjoyed fireworks over the bay, and rocked the dock with some fabulous bands. I had a great time but I sure missed my dogs. Judging from the greeting they gave us when we got home, they missed us too. Pets were not allowed there and I don't think it was a trip my dogs would have enjoyed much anyway. I had a friend come to the house three times a day to care for them while we were basking in the summer fun. Summer was a little later coming here this year but it arrived in full force as we flipped the calendars to June. The heat reminds me that summer can hold some hazards for our dogs unless we take some special precautions. I've collected a list of article links here to help you keep your dog healthy and happy during the stifling heat of summer.
