Evan gets meds for his various urinary issues, megacolon and other intestinal issues, anxiety, a deformed ear that requires special cleaning agents, and all that jazz. He gets the majority of his medications in the morning, though he also gets second doses of about half of them in the evening.
I know Evan looks pretty pathetic in that photo there, but rest assured that he takes his meds pretty well, and afterwards he always gets treats. The second he knows he's done getting his meds, he doesn't run off or anything like that. Instead, he turns around and immediately demands his treat reward. And he's always granted that.
Evan and all of us here wish you a magnificent Monday! Evan also hopes you all get to enjoy some treats! (Preferably without getting drugged first, but either way, hopefully there are treats!)

Flashback Doodle of the Day
I scribbled up and shared this doodle probably not even a fully year ago, but the photo above reminded me of it, and so I decided to share it again today.

Tip of the Day
Today's summer safety tip for strays, ferals, and other outdoor furbabies revolves around water. Water is, as you certainly know, incredibly important for all life. It's especially important for staying hydrated and cool in the summer heat. That being said, today we have some quite logical albeit important tips for helping strays, ferals, and other outdoor furbabies stay hydrated this summer.
Not only is it important to keep water in a shaded area or shaded shelter, as we mentioned yesterday, but it's also important to keep fresh water available in abundance. Especially in the summer heat, it is not possible to offer too much water. Strays and ferals may very well drink, and need to drink, far more water in the heat. Not to mention, in the heat, water can evaporate very quickly. For these reasons, try to offer extra bowls of water.
Furthermore, try to keep those bowls of water as fresh and clean as possible. Refill them as often as you can, and clean them as needed. Bugs, leaves, and all sorts of other outdoor debris can find their way into water bowls. Sometimes, cats and other animals may be unable to or unwilling to drink from a bowl that has debris floating in it or that is in another way dirty. In some cases, it's also unhealthy and dangerous to drink water that has been contaminated by certain debris. So, do try to keep those bowls and the water inside them fresh and clean.
For extra chill in that water, and perhaps even to give it a bit tad bit more ability to combat evaporation in the heat, you can also try putting ice cubes in the water bowls that are available to strays and ferals. Of course, do keep in mind the furbabies' preferences when doing this. Some animals will not drink from water that has something floating in it, so if this is the case, then refrain from putting ice cubes in at least some water bowls.
All in all, never forgot that fresh, clean water can of course be crucial to comfort and survival in the summer heat. So, offer lots and lots of water for those strays, ferals, and other outdoor furbabies. What's more, keep an eye on those water bowls, and try to ensure that they remain full and free of debris.
