Dear aupairs here is information about heat stroke - please read it and review it. It is very important to stay hydrated, have a hat on, and use sunscreen. I look forward to seeing all of you soon.

It's getting really hot out there. Please do not leave your animals in the car or outside without water, even for a few minutes , this can kill them. Always have plenty of water available for them. Also, think about the asphalt temps before taking him/her for a walk. Wait til it has cooled down. Hot asphalt will burn their pads. Please share this photo.
