[QUOTE="totoro, post: 304491, member: 3155"] Because of where we live, IT IS HOT most of the year. Not just hot, but HOT. Dry and hot. The sun beats down on you and being out in the sun is just down right dangerous. Basically anyone who leaves any animal outdoors without a huge supply of water and large shade area is considered cruel. I would never ever have a dog with out leaving it inside if I was going to be gone. I would never take my dog here in the car unless I was going to keep it running or take it with me inside, (which a lot of places allow). Most cafes and smaller restaurants here let you have dogs sit outside with, they have misters. Unfortunately there are still a lot of people who have pets they can't afford, or are not educated on how to care for, they leave them outside all day with not enough water and no shelter or not enough. ALSO SPAY AND NEUTER!!! Most here seem to love and treat there pets like family, but we hear and see the stories of puppies dumped in bags on the side of the road. Lots of abuse as well. THe other day they found a Chocolate Lab with an arrow in it's eye and other horrible things done to it wandering in the desert. It came right up to the hiker and let him carry it out to safety. I just started sobbing when they showed her. She was so excited to be getting any love. I think sick horrible things happen everywhere. We are a hippy/snowbird community here very left leaning so I think over all we love our animals. Yes, lot's of little old ladies with dressed up tiny dogs! [/QUOTE]
