Our temperatures have been 100 or higher every day for about 20 or 21 days this month.

We had a town about 35-45 minutes north of here lose a police dog on Thursday afternoon. (The high that day was 106; low was 83.) The Belgian Shepherd was left for about 2 hours in a kennel with a concrete floor with plenty of water but only partial shade. The officer that was caring for the dog may face departmental discipline.

The moral of the story is to remember your furry friends when the weather is being unfriendly.
