Happy Dog Day to my sweet boy, and all the dogs I’m fortunate enough to care for ❤️
Being trusted to watch over your pups is one of my greatest honors.

Ok, Florida, please take this seriously. This is the worst I've seen this map look all summer.

Today, the area covered by "extreme heat risk" in Florida has increased substantially over yesterday.

This is mainly a result of not getting much rain on Monday. This causes temps to stay higher overnight, providing little relief even at night. Today, once the sun comes up, we'll do it all again, but even hotter.

Temperatures today may be 1-2ºF warmer than Monday & heat index values may be 1-2ºF higher as well.

That means some parts of the state may be approaching a feels-like temperature of 120ºF.

Your body, no matter where you're from, cannot handle heat at this level for long periods. Heat illness is a serious concern today for anyone who has to be outside during the hottest part of the day, which is 10 am to 6 pm.

WAYS TO STAY SAFE:

⚠️ Stay hydrated: Drink water early and often—don't wait until you feel thirsty. Avoid alcohol and excess caffeine.

⚠️ Take shade & AC breaks: If working outdoors, rest frequently in the shade or air conditioning to let your core temp drop.

⚠️ Know the warning signs:
- Heat Exhaustion: Heavy sweating, dizziness, nausea, weakness (Move to AC, sip water).
- Heat Stroke: Confusion, hot/red skin, loss of consciousness, rapid pulse (CALL 911 immediately).

⚠️ Never leave kids or pets in a parked car, not even for a minute.

⚠️ Check on vulnerable neighbors, outdoor workers, and the elderly.

I have cared for Max many times and I LOVE him. If I could have another dog, it would definitely be him ❤️ Please share with anyone you know that may be looking for a new best friend.

Please bear with me this week as I juggle an unusually busy schedule and a few important medical appointments. I may be a little slower than usual responding to texts.
As always, your pets are my top priority, and they’re receiving the same loving care they always do. While I always do my best to stick to scheduled visit time frames, there may be a few slight adjustments this week as I work around appointments. If that creates an issue for you, please let me know and we’ll figure out the best solution.
Also, just a friendly reminder that I am fully booked for July, as mentioned in a previous post. 😊
Thank you all for your patience and understanding. I appreciate the grace you give me while I take care of myself so I can continue taking the best care of your pets.
