HOT HOT HOT!

WOW, This week is going to be hot in Wichita Falls, TX! 103 F projected for today!

(That's 39 Celsius for our European Friends! -Hi Luigi!)
So remember to drink lots of liquids (water is best) and stay out of the direct sun if you can. I worry about my father who refuses to use AC and lives in West Texas.

Also take precautions for your pets! Dogs can suffer from heat stroke the same as people!

Read below details about it.
The other day I left my dog outside accidentally while I went to the Hair Salon. She was outdoors for about 2 hours. When I got home, she had jumped into our pool and was panting like crazy!
I never do that, she likes to sleep on the cold marble tile in our bathroom.

Here's details about heat stroke for pets

Heat stroke is a condition arising from extremely high body temperature (rectal temperature of 105 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit), which leads to nervous system abnormalities that may include lethargy, weakness, collapse or coma. Abnormally high body temperature (also called hypothermia) develops after increased muscular activity with impaired ability to give off heat due to high heat and humidity or respiratory obstruction.

Allowing a dog to remain in a car with closed windows on a hot summer day is probably the most common cause of heat stroke!

Normal dogs dissipate heat from their skin. In addition, panting allows evaporation of water from the respiratory tract and is an effective method of heat dissipation. When these mechanisms are overwhelmed, hypothermia and heat stroke usually develop. The elevation in body temperature stimulates the body to release substances that activate inflammation

All Photo shoots will be indoors this week!
Everyone take care of yourselves!
