With all due respect to Florence and the Machine, the dog days are not over. At least, not the dog days of summer.
It's August, and that means there will be at least one more heat wave before fall sets in.
There are concerns about working on any given day. It's no small feat keeping our cool in chaotic, challenging or loud conditions. But summer comes with its own specific challenges to our systems.
Extreme heat and humidity are a shock to the system. Our bodies can immediately feel a change when drinking some ice water or leaving a cool air conditioned room. Heat-related illnesses can easily sneak up on us, and we might not realize it until we're in trouble.
We've enlisted some furry friends to help remind you of the importance of staying vigilant against dehydration and signs of heat-realted illnesses.
