Hi everyone! Great pictures and updates. I'm still crazy busy...this weekend I'm having a surprise B'day party for my mom. I'm really excited, but it's a lot of work! I wanted to let everyone know...yesterday was Petey Day again....he is now 57 months old!!! Each month he lives with DCM is a miracle. He is still enjoying life and I'm loving him to bits!

twisted thoughts

Unfortunately, the world is filled with idiots that actually do leave their pets in the car when its a million degrees outside (non of you here would ever do this, I am sure of that!!), but in case you ever wondered what to do if you find a dog being kept in a hot car, maybe you'll find this helpful...

You Can Help Pets in Hot Cars


Rayne Nolte was in the parking lot of a Mankato, Minnesota, mall last week when she spotted Roxie, a Yorkie mix, trapped in a car. The temperature was 88 degrees with a heat index of 103, and the car's owner was gone.

You may have found yourself in Rayne’s situation before. Many pet parents believe that cracking a window is enough to keep their dogs cool in the car while they make a quick pit stop—but they couldn’t be more wrong. "Automobile temperatures can very quickly rise to dangerous levels; the average temperature increase in a parked car is 40 degrees, and the majority of this increase occurs in the first 15 to 30 minutes," says Dr. Louise Murray, Vice President of ASPCA Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital. When it’s 80 degrees outside, your car will be a staggering 114 degrees after 30 minutes!

Worse still, dogs can’t cool themselves down as easily as people, and once they overheat, they can suffer extensive organ damage or die. Luckily, Rayne made all the right moves. Follow her lead by taking these simple steps.

Step 1: Try to Locate the Pet Parent
Roxie’s people were nowhere in sight, so Rayne called mall security, who tried to find Roxie’s family through the loudspeaker. (You can ask most stores to do this.)

Step 2: Educate
Rayne couldn’t find Roxie’s pet parents, but if you do, explain the dangers of leaving a pet in a hot car. Make sure the pet gets out of the car as soon as possible.

Step 3: Call 911
Fourteen states (http://www.animallaw.info/articles/qvuspetsincars.htm)have enacted specific laws that protect dogs in hot cars, as have many municipalities—but even in places lacking such a law, leaving an animal in a hot car may constitute cruelty.

Rayne and the mall security officers dialed 911. When the police pulled Roxie from the steamy vehicle, she was very ill but soon on the road to recovery.

Step 4: Pat Yourself on the Back
Pets are counting on people like you to save their lives. Rayne rescued Roxie just in time, and she made a full recovery! And according to the Mankato Free Press, the pet-sitter who left Roxie in the car was charged with a petty misdemeanor.

Sophie is doing good, she is 21 weeks old this week. I really wish that i could take her to the river and take some pictures, but it has been to high and running way to fast still for me to chance it. I have been slacking on the photos.
