Don’t forget about your animals in this heat

I saw something the other day that reminded just how brutal this heat is for animals. Animals don’t sweat like we do and can’t tell us when they’ve reached their limit.

I was in an animal emergency clinic once when they brought in a beautiful German Shepherd on a stretcher. His young owner, I’m guessing a college student, had taken him with her jogging. He collapsed and she managed to load him up in her car and drive him to the clinic. Multiple IVs of fluid couldn’t save him. I knew he was gone when I heard her blood curdling scream.

So what did I see? I live at the edge of Alief, right by Sugar Land. Like the edge of town often is, it’s a mix of residential, industrial and open acreage. Now and then, I see people riding horses along the side of Eldridge. Thursday, driving home from work, I saw a dead horse on the side of the road. A ….. DEAD ….. HORSE. My guess is the heat got to it.

Take care of your animals.

Anyone need a good bookkeeper?

My boss and his wife have gone down the right wing anti-vaxx QAnon conspiracy theory rabbit hole and talk about it ALL THE TIME. I just can’t ignore it anymore. Add to that my boss is quite unhealthy and should be considered high risk. I just don’t want to sit around and watch him die . I have 20+ years experience and I’m an absolute beast with QuickBooks Online. Feel free to PM me. If possible, I would love a job in or close to Spring to be closer to my brother.
