The Dog Days of Summer — and Fall

Keeping pets safe in hot weather

No greater love exists than “man’s/woman’s best friend.”

Dogs are loyal, unconditionally loving, great companions, protective, and soothing to the soul.

My dogs have always been a great source of joy in my life and are my children (yes, I’m one of “those people”). I’ve gone to great lengths, expense, and effort to keep all of them healthy and to safeguard their wellbeing. My dog, Zelda, passed away at almost 18 years old last year, and my wife and I spent the last several years attending to her every need, including her unfortunate age-related kidney disease and dementia.
