Warning - it is so easy to burn your dog's pads in this weather
I was unaware how easy it is to burn the pads on the feet of my dog on the pavements in this hot weather. After burning my own dog's pads by just crossing a road my vet gave me excellent advice as follows:
* if it is too hot for me to walk on the footpath without shoes it is too hot for my dog
* if I put the back of my hand on the footpath I can tell how hot it is.
*the best thing for burnt paw pads is a dip in the sea.
I decided to post this to reach as many dog lovers as possible so everyone can be aware of how important it is to be aware of how hot the pavements can get and it may only be a 20 metre road crossing that can burn.
Enjoy summer with your buddy.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
