Sorry to report this, but a sad reminder as to what the heat we are having can do to our furry friends. Even when you think you are doing everything possible.

I'm more than sure these people are absolutely devastated by this.

I've got to wipe my monitor now. Damn thing is all blurry.

Any of Senator Jeff Flake’s relatives in the area?

My first suspects would be the other competitors at the show, especially any in direct competition for particular awards. I’m privy to some chat among competitive cat breeders, and some of the stories they have to tell are mind-blowing. People can and do poison, steal, harass, and otherwise interfere with others’ show animals in order to prevent them from beating their own animals in these competitions.

Oh, how awful.

Blurry monitor here as well, ... did you see the article stating that idiot John Kerry wants to eliminate air conditioning.

Years ago we used to haul tens of thousands of baby chicks from hatcheries to farms with no air conditioning in the truck.

In the hot summer we opened scoop vents all along the side to keep air flowing to the birds. If we broke down, we opened all the doors, windows, vents and often would remove some in the center to allow air in and heat to escape.

Once after a several hundred mile journey to Mexico to deliver chicks, there was no one there to greet us at the border. We got on the phone, they dispatched someone from a hundred miles away in Mexico to get the chicks. As it was very hot, in that time we drove around in circles mile after mile in a five acre circle till the trucks arrived. Our losses in birds was very low.

This is very tragic, but if the simpleton Sec. of State had his way, there wouldn't be any air conditioned vehicles virtually anywhere.

Assuming the report is accurate, I disagree. Stuff happens, and this looks like bad luck. Nothing more.

I knew an independent trucker who was hauling choice and prime beef carcasses from Liberal, Kansas to Eglin AFB, Florida.

He had a full load and a few hundred miles from Eglin his refer went out. When he got there they were just beginning to thaw.

If the Air Force had turned down the load, he would have been ruined as he would have been liable for the whole thing.

He told me he was sweating it out but they accepted them.

What a horrible way to die. Our temps hit 104 yesterday in Minnesota. Poor, poor pups. I love dogs and can’t imagine their suffering. Just bad.

Not to be too flippant, but I’m constantly on the prowl and lookout for hot chicks.

Tragic. But a reminder...when lives are at stake, do not rely wholly on modern electric/electronic technology.

Obama would salivate if he read this.

And they would have to take my fridge from my COLD dead hands.

A few years ago, a man had a heart attack while he was picking up some dry cleaning. An ambulance came and took him to the hospital directly. Unknown to anybody, his dog was in his car with the windows closed. It was a hot day. You can guess the outcome.

He only planned to be in the dry cleaners for a minute or two but you never know.

-—Idiot. Driver should suffer the same fate-—

So because a circuit breaker failed, the human should suffer the same fate...?

It’s not like he just left the dogs to die...

I’m surprised they did not have a fail-safe circuit which would have set off an alarm horn if the breaker tripped.
