Today’s forecasted high is 105° F. Tomorrow’s is 106° F. With a heat index of 320° F, most of Oklahoma has been under a heat advisory for nearly a week.
During my weekly trip to Petsmart Sunday, I saw not one, but two cars with dogs left inside. Both drivers parked under a tree.
I assumed that people who shop at Petsmart are animal lovers. They take care of their pets, buy them quality chew toys and avoid Walmart’s “˜Ol Roy brand of dog food.
I assumed wrong. To those two shoppers:
I’m sorry that having a pet cuts into your sit-around-and-do-nothing time. That whole 5 minutes it takes each day to fill their food bowl must be strenuous, nearly as strenuous as cracking the car window to allow for some air flow.
On a 100-degree day, parking under a tree does little good. Just because you no longer feel the heat since your veins have collapsed from the large amounts of heroin you’ve shot into your body, doesn’t mean your dog can’t feel it.
Your pet’s come this far, who not complete the journey and take him indoors? You took the time to put your dog in the car; it shouldn’t be too difficult to remove him from the car. Actually, they do most of the work. Today’s breeds are capable of self-movement. They can roll as easy as your home.
Why the rush? Just ran in “real quick” to pick up a prescription?
Pedigree sale?
Worms?
Maybe I’m being overly sensitive. Maybe I came off like a prick when I walked up to you and said, “by the way, your dog’s dying.” It could be my fault. If I was more considerate, I would’ve offered to sit in your car and fan Fido. Is it me?
No, it’s not me. You’re an uncaring self-centered trog whore.
If police don’t start flogging these people who leave their dogs in cars on summer days … I will.

this picture makes me sad………..
I saw a pit bull in a car at Walmart (shocker) over the weekend. I was really close to breaking the window. The fear of dog attack kept me at bay. I had to settle for flagging down the security car who called local law enforcement. I’m sure nothing was done to them.
Ball ping hammer to the driver side window.
There, I fixed it.
Good grief. I hope irritatedtulsan called the cops.
The owner probably came out and removed the dog but put the kid in there in its place.
I certainly hope that you called 911. If not, you are no better than the bastages that left the dogs in the car in the first place. Since your story ended without any law enforcement involvement details, I can only deduce that you did not call the police. Did you not want to get involved? Did you figure the animals would fare better if you went home (in your air conditioned vehicle, no doubt)and wrote a scathing blog? Well, let me speak for those poor defenseless creatures and say “thank you” for allowing them to provoke your sense of righteous indignation. My goodness, those dogs certainly will live better, now that you’ve refered to their owners as trog-whores. Golly! If only you’d use your “wit” to solve the Palestine/Israel problem….
I reported it to the manager while my friend called the cops.
What? You mean those large coats of fur don’t keep the heat at bay? I hear dogs don’t sweat, so surely they don’t get hot?
Idiots…
Uh huh. Gee, why was that left out of your little rant? Maybe because you didn’t think of it until now?
