I concentrate on the elderly and the animals. I do errands for the elderly so they do not need to go out. I keep the birdbath filled with clean water and even add ice a few times a day, to keep the water from being boiling. It melts immediately or I wouldn’t do it, for fear of hurting the birds. I have a container on the ground always filled with cool water for squirrels, rabbits and such. Can you tell us what you are doing to help those who depend on others?
I love the answers I am seeing. To answer someone…I am a 57 year old woman. To answer another..I am not bragging. I am trying to remind people that we are the lucky ones who can care for ourselves. And by the way, where I live, no one is evening walking their dogs. They go out with them for brief times and then back to where they are safe and cool. This is NOT a typical summer. Do you live in Alaska, or something?
“chic” I sometimes work 12 hour shifts at the hospital. I also visit 8 camps a week of young children, as a music specialist. I, too, am busy.
“Theresa G” I wrote you a long letter. What I failed to say was that it is not only inhumane of those people to leave a dog outside in this heat. But eith out water!!! It is probably punishable by law. If you need to speak to the police, I pray you will. Something tells me you are a good person!
Be strong and do the only thing you can…save the dog.
