"Police say that pet flipping has reportedly been on the rise in places such as Kansas City, St. Louis and Indianapolis." ***ST.LOUIS!!!***

The term sounds absurd, along the lines of "cat juggling," the fake underground gag used for laughs in the old Steve Martin film The Jerk. But apparently, pet flipping is a real scam — and it's on the rise.

Summer's heat is on and pavement and tar-coated asphalt get extremely hot in the blazing sun. A sunny 85-degree day (air tempt) can cause asphalt temperatures to reach as high as 140 degrees. To put that into perspective, an egg can fry in 5 minutes at 131 degrees. At 125 degrees, skin destruction can occur in as little as 60 seconds, resulting in pain, redness, swelling, and bleeding. As a rule of thumb, press the back of your hand firmly against the asphalt for 5 seconds. If it's too hot for you, it's too hot for your pet!

Even though everyone says “Oh, they’re just a mutt.” you know you have the best dog in the world. Let’s face it; you are a tad curious about just what breeds co-mingled, to come up with your unique canine companion. A good place to start is at the end … the tail end.
