Hi all,

Just read a sad story about a dog dying in the heat in Brisbane after being tied to a clothesline without shade or water.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-12-03/dog-dies-heatwave-queensland-tied-to-a-clothesline-rspca/12945798

These tips below were in that story.

Pet tips for hot weather:
• If you can't leave your hand on the path or bitumen for more than five seconds, it's too hot for your dog
• Walk your dog in the early morning or late afternoon when it's cooler
• Be cautious walking your pooch on surfaces that conduct heat such as pavers, concrete, bitumen and sand
• Some breeds such as bulldogs are more predisposed to heat stress
• Supply water and shade as well as cooling pads or ice blocks
• Avoid taking dogs in the car or have the windows down or place them near air-con vents
• Don't exert dogs on hot days

A pet owner could face criminal charges after a dog which was tied to a backyard clothesline and left without shade or water died of heat exhaustion.

We just gave $35 to the SPANA charity that helps starving donkeys and other hardworking animals around the world. $35 will help vaccinate 7 donkeys against deadly tetanus when the donkeys are working in rubbish dumps or hauling water around the world. Seemed to us like a good thing to do approaching Christmas. Note: We did some checking and can see SPANA does not have tax deductible gift recipient status in Australia, but does have an Australian office, is ABN registered and is a registered charity with Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). We decided not to let the lack of a tax deduction stop us from giving. Pay it forward. 🙏
