In Humid Weather

When walking a dog
   On a hot humid day
    It is not a good idea
    The pavement is too
         hot  
    For their little paws
    Walk them when it is
         cooler

    All dogs should be home
    For they are better off
    On a humid day
    For our fury friends
    On hot and humid days

That is so very true Darlene so very true. I think all dog owners should consider this. A well written message here.

Hello Edward,I have seen so much of dogs suffering in cars with windows slightly opened. It made me feel so sad. Thank you Edward.

Your welcome,it bothers me when i see dogs in their cars with the window a little open for air on a hot humid day.Or walking their dogs when it is too hot. That is why I wrote this poem. Good morning.
