As a followup to yesterday's tip on how to keep your furbaby cool if they are outdoors in the heat, we're here today to specifically talk about those walks you and your furbaby might take this summer. Especially on those days with extreme heat, it is safest to either limit or cut out walks, or to take them only when the day is at its coolest. For example, a very early morning walk or a late evening walk would be far safer than a walk in the middle of the day, when the sun is at its highest and hottest. If a walk or bathroom break outdoors is necessary for your pup or kitty on a hot day, do consider taking a water bottle along to help keep your furbaby hydrated and cool.
It's not just the heat of the air that you have to consider with regard to summer walks, though. Pavement can reach literally burning hot temperatures in the summer sun. While us humans typically wear shoes to protect our feet, paw pads are exposed and can indeed be burned during exposure to hot pavement. If touching the pavement with your own hand leads you to conclude that it's burning hot, then indeed take that into consideration. This is one reason why it is incredibly important to plan walks and outdoor adventures accordingly during the summer months. If your pup or kitty does need to go outdoors in the extreme heat, and especially if the pavement feels hot to you, then try to avoid the pavement and instead head straight for the grass. Or, for those furbabies who will tolerate it, protective booties can be placed on the feet to keep them safe against the hot pavement.
In the summer, just as always, it's always better to be safe than sorry. That might mean skipping a walk on a scorcher or a day, or changing your walking schedule so that your furbaby is outdoors only when it is cooler. Always do what is best for your furbaby's health and safety.
My answers are below in bold.
1. You know you are in the Midwest when you're surrounded by cornfields and tornado sirens.
(I live in the Midwest, and we are indeed surrounded by cornfields and tornado sirens.)

2. I am pleased with our vet's new online pharmacy.
(I mentioned this in another recent fill-in, but I really just wanted to say it again. I hesitated to start using the online pharmacy for quite some time, but now that I use it, I really like it. I have Evan's and Astrid's meds on autoship, and they come right to our door, so now I don't have to run to the vet all the time to get refills of their many medications.)

3. I wish I had the superpower of communicating with animals so that I could help them as best as possible.
(Sometimes I think being able to genuinely communicate with animals would be upsetting, at least if speaking to one that had been through certain traumas in life. But, in the end, if it would allow me to help animals to the absolute best of my ability, whether that be medically or otherwise, I would like to be able to fully communicate with them.)

4. I still have almost all the books from my childhood.
(I still have a variety of things from my childhood, like some of my favorite toys and stuffed animals and blankets. That said, books are probably what I have the most of from my childhood. I love books and don't like to part with any, so that's that.)
I've shared on our blog before how Eddy is my main bathroom buddy. As in, she believes that if I'm in the bathroom, she also needs to be in the bathroom. And if I have the audacity to try and close the door, she displays much disapproval.

You throw privacy out the door when you have a kitty, and I honestly love that Eddy is my little bathroom buddy.
Eddy hopes all you kitties out there have a great day of invading your human's space, like all kitties deserve to do!

I enjoyed all your answers. I think it is great that you still have all your books from childhood. Adorable shot of Eddy. And I like the drawing, the potion bottles are cool. Excellent tips too. XO
An online pharmacy sounds excellent.
