Hot Dog!

I went to the library today to see my mom.  She said that earlier in the day, a lady came in all in a tizzy and said that someone had a little dog out in the car, and the car was NOT running.  Mom and a co-worker went outside and saw the dog in the car, and of course it was panting like crazy.  The thought they knew who it was, so they stuck their head into the room where the dvd's are and asked if anyone had a dog in their car.  A woman looking at movies said it was her car, and her dog.  The lady that originally came in and "tattled" confronted the lady, and the lady with the dog said "Well, I left the sunroof open for him!  He goes with me to pick up my grandson from school all the time and sits with me in the car!"  The confrontation ended with some really nasty language and that lady being asked to leave the library, more or less.
So, what the hell?  Are people seriously stupid?  Yes, they are.  It was over a hundred degrees outside this afternoon. 
What is the deal with people that leave their dogs in a car that IS NOT RUNNING!?  Uggggggggggg!!!!!!!!  Lemme tell ya something, if I EVER get the opportunity to confront someone that has left a dog in a car when it's hot, OR cold, they will wish they'd never been born :)
Anyways, Kate is doing really well!  She is so sweet, and all the neighbors love her.  She gets to get out of jail on September 11th, and I can't wait.
The only thing that bothers me is that she has started going to the bathroom in her house.  My mom said she may have..."jet lag" in a way.  Like, she is so lost as far as time and everything else because she is locked up 24/7 that she has just quit trying to hold it all together.  I'm really hoping that she will go back to being housebroken once she is free.  I think she will be. 
I still havn't heard her bark! 
That's okay though...her little sister Jordan barks enough for all three dogs!  Any suggestions on getting a dog to quit barking so much?  She is such a brat!

It's hot.

Holy moly, it's SUPER hot out here.  Ya know, I lived in Oklahoma City for a bit, and it was pretty hot there.  It's funny though, because nobody there belived me when I said it was hotter in Arkansas.  Well, I don't know what the temperature is there, but it feels way more humid here then it ever did there.  I got off work today and the temp was 107!!!  It's absolutely unbearable and I feel so much pity for any person that has to work outside.  Can you imagine working in a factory right now?  Those people are better than I am, I just don't know if I could do it.
Kate has gone outside one time today, but I'm not going to take her out again until after the sun goes down.  She has been acting a tad more hyper here lately.  I can't decide if it's because she feels better, or because she is going stir crazy being locked in the bathroom.  I wish so bad that I could ask her.  I also wish so bad that I could find out where she came from.  Then again, maybe I don't want to know.  I secretly check craigslist almost every day to see if anybody has posted a "Lost Dog in Paragould" notice.  It scares me!  I've never had a dog that wasn't 100% mine.  I mean, Kate IS 100% mine, but she didn't start out that way, which makes me anxious.  I'd hate to fight somebody, but I totally would if I had to.
I've thought about getting a new tattoo.  I only have two, and they are small...I'm not THAT kind of girl.  But, considering the fact that dogs are pretty much my life, I really would like to get a tattoo that is dog related.  Any suggestions?  I thought about getting the silhouette of a poodle...but what about Kate?  She isn't a poodle (shhhh, she THINKS she is).  And what about Carley, my miniature dachshund and the first love of my life who currently lives with her grandparents?  I'm going to really think hard before I ink my body, but I'd love some feedback.
