We are on the border with Mexico and it is HOT here. A lot of elderly people bring their 'service dogs' shopping with them Most merchants turn a blind eye unless the dogs get really disruptive. Bless 'em all for the forbearance that keeps doggos safe here where it is so hot.

The tiny 'service dogs' get carried across hot parking lot pavements. Some ride in shopping carts inside stores. I am sure they are helping owners remember what all they need to buy.
