When you think of hoarding you probably have visions of the popular reality show the takes you into the home of these types of people. Inside are mountains of clothes, garbage and useless junk just rotting away. While that kind of hoarding can be a health hazard to the occupant there is another type of hoarding that endangers helpless creatures. That would be animal hoarding. Recently, Sarasota animal control authorities were called to a home and discover 263 dogs in an extreme state of neglect.

But could you ever imagine devoting that much care to 263 dogs all at once? This is a serious violation of the law. Among the breeds found in this one location were Chihuahuas, Maltese, Bichon Frise, Poodles, Bouviers and Schnauzers. Authorities suspect that the owner was original a breeder but clearly things got out of hand. The good news is that all of these dogs have been rescued. Thanks to some hardworking veterinarians and volunteers, the pups have all been cleaned up, checked out and are not being put up for adoption. The community is responding in kind by bringing these dogs into loving homes.

August is chock full of “dog day afternoons.” We know that means it’s hot outside but do you know where that saying comes from? For the answer you’ll have to go back to ancient Rome. Back then Sirius or the Dog Star rises before sunrise in the late summer months. Because this time was tied to increased heat it was thought that dogs would go mad and people would get hysterical just because it’s too darn hot. As any decent astronomer will tell you Sirius can no longer be seen in that same position in Rome but that phrase has stuck. Through the years it has come to mean a hot, sticky, muggy day where all you want is to crawl into a refrigerator. Residents of Sarasota, Florida know all about dog day afternoons. What’s your favorite way to stay cool?
