Please don't bring your dog tomorrow.

Hot sidewalks/streets. So many dogs are adopted from horrible situations, and the strangest thing may set them off.
Please???!!!

This is a people March. Let’s love on our dogs in other, better ways.

Your pets can sense your outrage. They hate trump as well. Give em the day off.

3. It's April 5, and I doubt there will be any "hot" sidewalks or streets....

There may be other legitimate reasons not to bring them, but "hot" isn't one of them.

Although I will be packing some “patriot boys” survival gear and meals.

Btw I will be in Westerville, OH and I would love to see other dogs too as long as
as they are not suffering from the too hot sidewalks.

9. If we are going to quibble about what is considered hot in a country where tomorrow will be hot

in some places, can we please not expose frightened rescues to so many sounds, smells, other dogs who are also frightened by crowds, yet are dragged out by people who love their dogs too?
There will be huge dogs who are frightened.
There will be tiny Yorkies who will be frightened. We don’t know what happened to our rescues before we adopted and how they will react to…anything.
Can we love our dogs some other, better way?

Land be to go-shins this cereal list. Where is Rin Tin Tin when you need him?

Or just maybe 4/5/25 will be the day the dogs took back America 🇺🇸.

Although if it is lightening bolts of eee leak tri-city I might not stay.
