My sister has the biggest heart around and can’t resist any living creature.
When she told me that she wanted to volunteer at the local animal shelter I knew it wouldn’t be long before she brought home a new friend.
Boy was I relieved when it was a puppy and not a lizard or something. Anyway, this puppy is an eight week old shepard mix and she named him Oscar. He is cute as can be but there is one big problem that she didn’t consider. She has no air conditioning in her apartment and he was going to be cooped up there all day while she was at work. At times her place get up to eighty five degrees and she doesn’t live where she can just leave the windows open. It isn’t the best neighborhood and that was the other reason she wanted the dog. We started looking for solutions online to the problem and found that they make personal cooling devices that can be plugged in without a vent. They are basically small swamp coolers that use evaporation to cool a space. They aren’t very powerful but, if she plugged it in next to Oscar’s crate, it would keep him comfortable while she was away. We ordered it from a website and it should be here in a couple of days. In the meantime I will be stopping by to take Oscar for a walk and giving him a cool drink a couple of times a day. I don’t mind because he really is very cute and loveable too.
