Am seriously freaked out by this article. (Which may even be free access for the rest of you as it's BMJ -- go on, give it a try! Er, unless you think you might find it disturbing too, in which case, don't.)

PSA You Probably Don't Need But I'm Writing About This So You Get It Anyway:
- NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN OR PETS ALONE IN A CAR. EVER EVER. EVER. Even if it's not that hot out and the windows are cracked. Terrible things happen!
- And check your car every time you get out of it, in case a child or a pet got in!
- Especially during times of family upheaval!
- And check the car first if a child goes missing!
- Including the trunk!
- And if you see a child or a pet left alone in someone else's car, I don't CARE if it's embarrassing, call 911 NOW!
here's the thing.

Zoey comes with me in the car for about 3/4 of the year, and in CA, that's fine - she only goes with me to places like the boathouse, etc., where it's fairly isolated & I can leave the windows half down. But right now? In July & August? When it's 80 - 100 degrees out? yeah no. I don't care how pouty she gets, that dog is staying home.
in terms of animals, the people that wig me are the ones that leave their dogs tied up outside of a store & go in & can't keep an eye on them. Dude, that's like leaving a four year old in the middle of an intersection! wtf?
