Summer Safety Links

Its a busy Friday.  I have dogs to train, contractors to meet and I need to go make some final selections for the kitchen project.  Since it’s also the height of summer, it seems like a good time to post links to blogs with summertime safety information.

This post from GunDogDoc has excellent information on recognizing treating heatstroke.  While you’re there, look around a bit.  Dr. Joe Spoo has an excellent new blog.  We’re regular visitors.

Luisa over at Lassie Get Help has a couple of very good posts on the dangers posed by foxtails.
