EXTREME HEAT WARNING!

Please put your dogs in your basements with access to cold, fresh water, if possible. If you're unable to, please ensure they have an area that is shaded (NOT a doghouse - they will become TOO hot inside) and that they have plenty of cold, fresh water.

Secure those fences and gates. Go outside w your dog for potty breaks. And if you could be kind and bring your outside dogs inside today, that would be even better.

High winds until 8 pm tonight.
