So for the first time in my life I got the cops called on me(though only the fire truck showed up) for leaving a dog in the car :yikes:
The car was parked in the shade, trunk was open, and the dogs were in wire crates with water and fans going. So they were in no way in distress....
Anywho so basically I decided to take the girls swimming. I had them both out at the same time, but dealing with both together was a bit difficult so I decided to take turns. So I was constantly switching dogs out(neither were in there for more than 5 mins at a time) and at the time I had left Karma in the car and had Abby out and I noticed a fire truck pull up. So I immediately knew what was going on and headed towards the car(which had never left my eyesight to begin with). Asked if there was a problem and they asked if that was my van. I said yes and repeated is there a problem. The fireman replied with how someone called because there was a dog locked in a car. And I stated how they had water/fans and the door were open and he sort of laughed it off and said "you know how people are these days" and I was all "yup". But after that they were happy with what they saw, glad I was a good owner, and left... And of course Karma was happily chilling in the van while strange people were sniffing around the car wondering what the heck was going on... But since there was no problem I kept doing what I was doing until my girls were happily about to collapse and hopefully sleep for the rest of the day.
Guess I got so used to being around sport people who think nothing of a dog in a crate in a car with proper everything and forgot that most everyday people don't have the common sense to figure out whether or not a dog is in distress/bad situation etc...
