"I long to have such a memorial of every being dear to me in the world. It is not merely the likeness which is precious in such cases - but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing . . . the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! . . . I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest artist's work ever produced." ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning on photographic portraits

Prevent dehydration. Make sure your pets get plenty of water through these hot summer months. Provide shade when they're outside and never leave them in a closed vehicle.
