Waiting for the vet to release the still-woozy Oscar, I took my iced coffee and bun into the air-conditioned Recreation Club to ascape the Nth day of extreme heat and humidity.

I sat and watched this teeny tiny girl waiting patiently outside for her owner for at least half an hour. I was starting to become quite worried that she’d been abandoned, as she was outside in 32 degrees (albeit in the shade) for at least half an hour. I know I’m tender-hearted but I don’t think it’s right to treat your best friend like this.
