Page 10, The Herald, Thuraday, August 16, 1979 wag tar rey Dog Owners: . No Parking! By Abigail Van Buren € 1978 by Chicago Tribune-N.Y, Nawa Synd. Ine, DEAR ABBY: I ama volunteer with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. So far this summer we have had several cases of pets who were overcome by heat prestration after having been left in automobiles parked in the hot sun. . A few years ago you had a terrific piece in your column about this problem. I am enclosing it. Would you please con- sider a rerun? EILEEN R.IN DOVER, DEL. DEAR EILEEN: You're doggone right I will: DEAR PET OWNERS: With summer here, please do not take your pet along for the ride and leave him locked in a parked car while you run errands and shop. When the temperature is §5 degrees outside, the temperature inside a parked car {even with the windows slightly open) will reach 102 degrees within 10 minutes. And in 30 minutes it will reach 120 degrees! The normal body temperature of a dog is approximately 102 degrees, and It can withstand approximately 108 degrees for a very short time before suffering irreparable brain damage or death, ; If you must leave your pet locked in a parked car —leave him home! : P.S. My pet consultant says, “NEVER park a car in the eun—even with the windows open—if a pet is inside." DEAR ABBY: I have a strange problem. Should ] be the matron of honor at my ex-husband’s wedding? I know the woman he’s marrying (slightly) but we're really not all that close. I neither like nor dislike her. I stil can’t figure out why she asked me. My husband has asked our two children; ages 5 and 9, tc be in the wedding party, so, of course, they will be there. | am not carrying the torch for my ex, but I have no desire tc attend this wedding. How should [ handle it? I don't want to make up any lies EX-WIFE WITH NO REGRETE | DEAR EX: Why lie? Decline with thanks. It's not necessary to explain why. DEAR ABBY: Did a letter in your column ever ring a bell with us! : Upon retiring and moving to San Diego several years ago. we started to hear from acquaintances from our home state. They said, “We've heard so much about San Diego—we'd love ta come out and spend a week or so with you—seeing the sights and enjoying the weather.” Here's how we handled it: We'd write back saying, “We're so happy you're planning to come to San Diego. When you get here and get seztded, be sure to give us a ring. We'd Inve to get together for a drink." You'd be surprised at the number of people who wrote back to say, “We've changed our plans... we'll take a rain- check.” ‘ We enjoy guests, but not the type who invile themselves.
