8am to 5pm Monday - Friday
With the days heating up, a good reminder about leaving our pets in the car.
Here are a few precautions to keep in mind:
*Leave your dog at home on warm days.
* On trips with your pet, bring plenty of fresh drinking water and bowl.
* Don't let dogs ride loose in pick-up truck beds. The hot metal can burn a dog's paws, the sun and flying debris can hurt the dog, the dog can accidentally be thrown out of the truck if the brakes are suddenly applied, and the dog can jump out if scared or upon seeing something interesting to chase. Instead, use a crate to create a safer space for the dog if you can't fit the dog inside the truck cab.
* Take the dog into the shade, an air conditioned area, or to the vet if you see signs of heat exhaustion, which include restlessness, excessive thirst, heavy panting, lethargy, dark tongue, rapid pulse, fever, vomiting, glazed eyes, dizziness, or lack of coordination. To lower body temperature gradually, give the animal water to drink, place a cold towel or ice pack on the head, neck and chest, and/or immerse the dog in cool (not cold) water. Call your veterinarian.
Maintenance Monday:
The “spark” made by the spark plug is like a tiny bolt of lightning; It's that powerful.
Each time it sparks, a little bit of material is lost from the electrodes. A dirty spark plug causes misfiring, which wastes fuel. Worse - with prolonged misfiring, it can be costly by damaging the ignition coils. The concept of preventive maintenance is not to repair your vehicle when it breaks, but prevent it from breaking.
